Annotate PDF for bookkeepers

Updated July 2026

Arthize lets bookkeeping teams annotate a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Annotating a PDF adds highlights, comments, shapes and notes on top of the page, so you can mark up a document without changing its text.

Why bookkeepers annotate a PDF

A bookkeeper converts PDF bank statements to Excel to reconcile the month, merges receipts into a single file, and compresses the package to send to the client — privately.

Built for bank statements. Whether it's bank statements, receipts, ledgers, Arthize's annotate pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Client financial records must be processed privately and never retained by an outside service.

What matters when you annotate a PDF

Annotations sit on top of the page and don't change the underlying text.

You can highlight, comment, draw and add notes.

Annotated files are ideal for review and feedback.
