Flatten PDF turns comments, highlights and filled-in form fields into ordinary page content. Use it when sending a completed form, so the answers cannot be changed, or when a printer or another app does not show annotations properly.
Use it to flatten a PDF form, lock filled-in fields so they cannot be changed, or merge annotations into the page.
