HAPPY IMGThese three tools all hide sensitive information, but they are optimized for slightly different file types. The fastest choice depends on whether you are working with a mixed document, a formal invoice, or a short point-of-sale receipt.
Quick answer
- Use Document Redactor when the file could be almost anything.
- Use Invoice Redactor when the document is clearly an invoice with billing fields and line items.
- Use Receipt Redactor when the file is a store, restaurant, or service receipt with compact payment details.
Use document redactor for mixed or unpredictable files
Document Redactor is the best starting point when the layout is irregular or the file type changes from one job to the next.
It is the better fit for:
- contracts and forms
- screenshots exported as PDFs
- scanned internal documents
- files that do not follow invoice or receipt structure
Use invoice redactor for billing records
Invoice Redactor is better when you are reviewing formal billing documents and need to hide the fields that show up on invoices again and again.
It is usually the right tool when you need to check or remove:
- invoice numbers
- billing addresses
- vendor and customer details
- tax references
- payment terms or bank references
Use receipt redactor for short purchase proofs
Receipt Redactor is better when the file is a payment slip or retail receipt with dense but repetitive checkout details.
Choose it when the sensitive details are things like:
- card digits
- authorization codes
- timestamps
- order or loyalty numbers
- store location details
Main difference
The main difference is not just the name. It is how much the workflow expects a known document pattern.
- Document redactor is the flexible option.
- Invoice redactor is the billing-document option.
- Receipt redactor is the payment-slip option.
The more predictable the document type, the more useful the specialized tool becomes.
Common mistake
Do not default to the most general tool when you already know the file type. A specialized redactor usually helps you review the document faster because the sensitive fields are more predictable.
Quick rule
If the file is clearly an invoice, start with Invoice Redactor. If it is clearly a receipt, start with Receipt Redactor. If the file mix is messy or unclear, start with Document Redactor.
