Flatten a PDF

A filled form stays editable as long as its fields are live. Flattening freezes values and annotations into the page content — ideal before sending or archiving.

FAQ

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Processing runs locally in your browser; nothing is transmitted.

What happens to the form fields?

Each field is drawn as-is onto the page then removed: the result is no longer editable.

And the annotations?

Annotations with an appearance (highlights, stamps, displayed notes) are merged into the pages. The rare appearance-less annotations are kept.
