Annotate PDF for hr teams
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets HR and people 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 hr teams annotate a PDF
For a new hire, HR merges the contract, handbook and benefits summary into one onboarding pack, sends it for e-signature, and redacts personal data before filing the copy — inside a private workspace.
Built for offer letters. Whether it's offer letters, contracts, policy documents, Arthize's annotate pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. HR handles salaries, ID scans and personal data. Those files must be processed privately and never retained by an outside tool.
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.
