Arthize lets public-sector teams fill out a PDF form in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Filling a PDF form lets you type into fields, tick checkboxes and select options, then save the completed form without printing.

## Why government offices fill out a PDF form

A records officer redacts personal identifiers from a document before a public-records release, converts it to PDF/A for the archive, and merges the case file into a single record.

**Built for case files.** Whether it's case files, public records, forms, Arthize's fill pdf form keeps the work inside your private workspace. Public records contain personal data that must be redacted before release, and files must be handled on trusted infrastructure.

## What matters when you fill out a PDF form

You can type into interactive fields and tick checkboxes directly.

Completed forms can be flattened so values are locked.

No printing or scanning is required.
