Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit the PDF after flattening?
No. Flattening is a permanent process. The interactive fields become part of the static background image. You should keep a backup of the original if you need to edit it later.
Does this work on scanned documents?
Scanned documents are usually images already, so they are effectively "flattened" by default. This tool is specifically for PDFs that contain interactive form fields or annotations.
