Try boxing both signatures, the address and the rent.
What people box on a signed agreement
- Signatures.
- The other party's name and contact details, when you're sharing the terms with someone outside the deal.
- Prices, rent and deposits, when you're sharing the wording but not the money.
On the sample lease that's five boxes: two signatures, the address, the rent and the deposit, and the terms stay readable.
Long agreements repeat names on many pages. Blackbar doesn't search for them, so scroll through and box each one; a 20-page contract with a party named on every page is 20 boxes or more.
Questions
Can I hide a signature but show that it was signed?
Yes. The black box shows that something is there; the reader just can't see it.
Does this change the signed original?
No. Your original stays as it was; you get a separate file named redacted.pdf.
Can I redact a contract from DocuSign or a similar service?
Yes, once you download the signed PDF.
Is the contract uploaded?
No. It opens in your browser and the new PDF is made on your device.
