mask social before printing one form

[JADinAZ]

I use Proseries Basic.  I mail Form 9325 to my clients after their e-file return is accepted so they have the proof of filing.  Is there a way to print just that form - or any single form - and mask it before printing?  I normally print those single forms using the Print button at the top of the page which works fine when printing single forms, but I don't see a way to mask the social from there.  Thanks!

Look in print options for printing client copy

Thanks Skylane I tried that but I'm not trying to print the entire client copy just that one form.  I don't want to check and uncheck all the forms every time.

Override the SSN on that form. Print it. Remove override.

Thanks Accountant-Man - excellent suggestion - but the override wasn't available on the form I tried.  I'm looking for that option on Form 9325 and the Electronic Filing Instructions forms for Fed and my state.  Great idea!  Sadly didn't work for me.

Does the "Client Copy" mask it?

This isn't ideal, but if it does mask it on the Client Copy, you can print the Client Copy to a PDF, then open the PF and just print the 9325.

Thanks TaxGuyBill - I tried that and all 3 of the forms I want to mask - final 9325, and Electronic Filing Instructions for both Fed & State - have huge watermarks on them saying "DO NOT MAIL - Data Masked" (along with all other pages in the return I think).  Yep the SS's are masked but I don't want that big old water mark on them either.  You'd think there has to be a way to print ONE form and mask that one form before you print it.  But if there is I haven't found it.  Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I use PS Pro so not very familiar with PS basic functionality. 

Any chance you have a pdf editor like Adobe? 

print to pdf and edit or redact in a pdf editor

Thanks Skylane that might work.  But I was still hoping for a simpler solution.  Like something in PS Basic.  But I think I'm out of luck.

… w/ Adobe Acrobat it takes about a minute. I don’t know about other editors
