What is PDF Flattening?
Flattening a PDF merges all interactive elements (form fields, annotations, comments) into the document's content layer, making them non-editable. This is useful for:
- Protecting completed forms from editing
- Reducing file size by removing form data
- Ensuring consistent appearance across viewers
- Preparing PDFs for printing or archiving
