Frequently asked questions
What does flattening a PDF mean?
Interactive elements such as form fields and comments are drawn into the page content and then removed, so they are no longer editable.
Why flatten a PDF?
Flattening makes filled forms and annotations look the same in every viewer and on every printer, and prevents further changes.
Are links kept?
Yes. Links remain clickable; only form fields, comments and drawings are flattened.
