Redact PDF for sales teams
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets sales teams redact a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Redacting a PDF permanently removes the underlying text and images under a black box — not just covering them — so hidden data can't be recovered.
Why sales teams redact a PDF
A sales rep merges a proposal, pricing sheet and case study into one packet, exports the quote to a fixed PDF, and sends the contract for e-signature to close the deal.
Built for proposals. Whether it's proposals, quotes, contracts, Arthize's redact pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Pricing and contracts are commercially sensitive; a private workspace keeps deals confidential.
What matters when you redact a PDF
Real redaction deletes the underlying content; a black rectangle alone can be removed to reveal the text.
Copying text from under a fake redaction box exposes the hidden data — a common leak.
Redaction should also clear document metadata that can leak names and edit history.
