Arthize lets journalists and newsrooms resize PDF pages in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Resizing a PDF changes the page dimensions — for example scaling to A4 or Letter — so a document prints and fits the way you need.

## Why journalists resize PDF pages

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.

**Built for FOIA releases.** Whether it's FOIA releases, leaked documents, reports, Arthize's resize pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Source protection is paramount; documents must be handled privately and metadata stripped before publishing.

## What matters when you resize PDF pages

It normalises documents with mixed page sizes.

Scaling keeps content proportional.
