PDF tools for authors
Updated July 2026
Arthize gives authors and self-publishers a single private workspace for manuscripts, proofs, cover files and every other PDF task — with no watermark and files deleted after each job. Unpublished manuscripts are valuable IP; private processing keeps them off public servers.
Why authors use Arthize
An author merges manuscript chapters into one file, resizes the pages to the print trim size, and exports a clean, watermark-free PDF for the printer.
Privacy first. Unpublished manuscripts are valuable IP; private processing keeps them off public servers. Everything runs inside your own Arthize workspace and is removed after processing.
