Frequently Asked Questions
When to Use Flatten PDF
Flatten interactive form fields, annotations, and comments into the PDF content. Flattening is essential before printing or archiving fillable forms, ensuring that form data becomes permanent and the document appears the same everywhere.
Tips for Best Results
- 1Flattening converts editable form fields into static text — this cannot be undone.
- 2Use this before sending filled forms to ensure recipients see the data correctly.
- 3Annotations and comments become part of the page content after flattening.
- 4Flattened PDFs are often smaller because interactive elements are removed.
