True redaction removes the text and images from the file — not a black box on top. Plus real in-place text editing, fill + sign, reorder pages, and OCR.

Drop two versions of a contract or drawing set. Moved notes read as moves, changed values light up digit by digit, and hidden text is named.
LaunchSide-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Alcoholic drinks from Okinawa, Japan
Awamori is Okinawa's rice spirit. All of the rice is first grown into black koji, then fermented in one stage with water and yeast for about two weeks and distilled once in a pot still. It is aged in clay jars or tanks; spirit aged three years or more is called kusu. Made in 6 steps over 6.5 months – 6.6 months. The longest step, dilute and age; kusu after three years, takes at least 6 months (Okinawa Prefecture Sake Brewers Association 2019). Aspergillus luchuensis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae do most of the fermenting.

Awamori uses black koji for all of its rice and ferments it in one stage, with no extra rice or other ingredients added later, which most shochu does. The GI requires Okinawa water and a single pot distillation in Okinawa. It ages in clay jars rather than wooden casks, and the shitsugi custom tops up old jars with younger spirit.
Every number is labelled with how it is known. How this atlas is made
The method reached Ryukyu more than 500 years ago through trade with Southeast Asia and the mainland. One story says the name ("bubble heap") comes from pouring the spirit from a height to judge its strength by the foam.
