About Flatten PDF Forms
Flatten PDF Forms brings the required input, options and result into one focused workflow. Flatten interactive form fields into a non-editable PDF copy for consistent viewing. The result changes when the source data or selected options change, so it is easy to run a second comparison.
For a typical workflow, use it to prepare a working copy for sharing, filing or review without changing the original document. Start with a representative input, inspect the first result, then adjust one setting at a time if you need a different outcome.
Processing stays in the browser where the individual feature supports it. Live public checks use a protected, rate-limited site endpoint; avoid unnecessary sensitive data.
