Flattening is the process of merging multiple layers of a PDF file into one. It takes various elements from different layers — like the text, form fields, notes, and images — and locks them in place as a single, static image to preserve the original layout and design of your document.
Now, no matter what device or software is used to view the file, it will look exactly how you intended it to. Flattening not only maintains the look of your document, but it also adds an additional layer of security by restricting edits. The flattening process turns all comments and annotations into part of the native text. Plus, it locks interactive elements like fillable fields, dropdown menus, signatures, and checkboxes to prevent any unwanted changes and ensure there are no discrepancies.
