We have a request to be able to see some verbiage within a pdf generated by Planetpress, but when the pdf is printed, for that specific verbiage to not be seen. Can Planetpress do anything like this?

Once the PDF has been generated, you can't change the way its content is printed. Well... you could, but you'd have to design another document template that displays the PDF and masks out the text.

If you have PlanetPress Workflow, then it becomes easy. Use a process in which a branch prints the document, while another branch creates the PDF. Both would use the same template. And inside the template, the text object you want to hide would have a condition that looks like this:

This will ensure that the text only appears on the PDF.

Philippe,

We would be providing this pdf to the client to print and would not be printing this directly (my understanding). I am curious if perhaps within presstalk, we could write something that would interpret if the pdf is being printed and either hide the verbiage or change the font to white or something along those lines. Could we do presstalk with the printermode code above to accomplish this?

No. As I said, once the PDF has been created it has a life of its own and PlanetPress Talk is no longer involved in it.
