Masked areas can be defined to hide information on a document from an operator. When the document is displayed, the Document Viewer displays the defined areas masked in either black or white. This means that you are not able to view the data behind the mask.

Documents with masked areas have the following restrictions:

• The masked area does not display OCR text so you cannot click or drag to insert OCR text.

• You cannot move any of the pages in a document with multiple pages. You can however, move an entire document that has one or more mask.

• You cannot merge a document that has one or more masks to another document. You can however, merge a non-masked document to a document with masks.
