Receivers will compare these three contracts; mismatched layouts look unprofessional. Uniformly crop the scanned margins across the three files so headers, footers, and signature blocks align visually. Note any page where cropping would touch signatures and leave that page unchanged with an [annotation] explaining why.

The design review depends on the [spec]; if cropping removes figure labels we'll get pushback. Check page [page=2] for text and diagram overlap, advise whether to crop the banner or recreate the page, and then either crop safely and output [filename=Spec_Cropped.pdf] with a screenshot of the preserved diagrams or recommend the minimal manual edits required and the estimated [time] for each option.

A banner on page 2 of the spec hides important text and we must clean it before tomorrow's design review.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Acrobat — not a feature checklist.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
