PDF tools for journalists
Updated July 2026
Arthize gives journalists and newsrooms a single private workspace for FOIA releases, leaked documents, reports and every other PDF task — with no watermark and files deleted after each job. Source protection is paramount; documents must be handled privately and metadata stripped before publishing.
Why journalists use Arthize
A journalist OCRs a scanned document dump so it's searchable, extracts key tables into a spreadsheet, and redacts a source's identifying details plus metadata before publishing.
Privacy first. Source protection is paramount; documents must be handled privately and metadata stripped before publishing. Everything runs inside your own Arthize workspace and is removed after processing.
