_Updated July 2026 · Arthize · https://arthize.com/for/ecommerce-sellers/annotate-pdf_

Arthize lets e-commerce and retail sellers 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 e-commerce sellers annotate a PDF

A seller merges a month of invoices into one file for the accountant, converts a supplier's PDF price list to Excel, and compresses the product catalogue for a marketplace upload.

**Built for invoices.** Whether it's invoices, packing slips, catalogues, Arthize's annotate pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Order and customer data is confidential; private processing avoids leaking it to a free 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.
