How To Flatten a PDF:
1. Drop your PDF file in the box above 2. Click the Flatten PDF button 3. Wait a few seconds while the pages are flattened 4. Check the result still looks exactly as it did before 5. Download your flattened PDFMake Filled Forms Permanent
Once a form is flattened, the boxes you typed into become part of the page itself. The answers stay visible and printable, but they are no longer editable fields that someone can click into and change.
Lock Signatures Into The Page
A signature sitting in an annotation layer can be moved or deleted by anyone with a PDF editor. Flattening writes it into the page content instead, so the signed copy you send is the copy that arrives.
The Page Looks Exactly The Same
Flattening changes how the content is stored, not how it looks. Text, images, stamps and highlights keep their position, color and size, so the result is visually identical to the file you uploaded.
Consistent In Every Reader
Readers draw form fields and annotations in slightly different ways, and some leave them out when printing. Once everything is flattened into the page, every viewer shows you the same thing.
Handled In One Step
There is no editor to learn and nothing to configure. Drop the file in and the flattened PDF is ready to download a few seconds later, and the file you uploaded is deleted automatically after two hours.
Free and Watermark-Free
No account, no trial and nothing stamped across your pages. Flatten as many documents as you like and download every one of them clean.
