About Flatten PDF

Flatten PDF converts visible form entries and annotation appearances into static page content. The resulting file is less dependent on how a particular viewer handles interactive fields, comments, or appearance streams.

When to use this tool

Use flattening for completed forms and final review copies that should look consistent when printed or opened in different viewers. Keep a separate editable original if future form changes may be needed.
