_Updated July 2026 · Arthize · https://arthize.com/for/insurance-agents/annotate-pdf_

Arthize lets insurance 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 insurance agents annotate a PDF

An agent merges a policy, declarations and endorsements into one client file, has the claim form filled and signed, and redacts personal identifiers before archiving.

**Built for policies.** Whether it's policies, claim forms, declarations, Arthize's annotate pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Claims contain health and financial data; a private workspace keeps that confidential.

## 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.
