Frequently asked questions

What does flattening a PDF do?

Annotations, highlights, and form fields stop being interactive objects and become permanent parts of the page — like printing and rescanning, but lossless.

When should I flatten?

Before sharing a filled form or annotated document when you want the content fixed in place — nothing can be edited, moved, or accidentally hidden by another viewer.
