PDF Flatten

What is PDF Flatten?

Flatten interactive PDF elements like form fields, annotations, and comments into the static page content. This makes the document read-only and ensures it looks identical everywhere, which is essential for archiving, printing, or sharing final documents.

How to use

1. Upload the PDF containing form fields, annotations, or interactive elements you want to flatten.
2. Choose what to flatten: form fields only, annotations only, or everything. Preview the flattened result.
3. Download the flattened PDF where all interactive elements are permanently rendered into the page.

Result

An accountant flattens a completed tax form PDF so all filled-in fields become permanent static text, preventing accidental edits before submitting the document.
