When to flatten a PDF

It is useful before sending a completed form when you want to reduce accidental edits or rendering differences between viewers.

What flattening does not do

It does not encrypt the file, add a certified signature, or prevent every later modification. Use separate controls when required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I recover the fields later?

Not from the flattened copy. Keep the editable original.

Does it work with every form?

It supports compatible AcroForm fields; XFA and other form types may not be available.
