Flatten PDF
Flatten PDF form fields and annotations into the page so the values cannot be changed and display correctly in every viewer.

이 도구에 대하여
A completed form is still editable. The values you typed sit in live form fields, so the recipient can change a figure and forward it on with nobody able to tell. Annotations behave the same way - a signature added as an annotation can be dragged off the page.
Flattening merges all of it into the page content. Field values become part of the page, annotations become part of the page, and there is nothing left to interact with. It also fixes the viewer problem: some readers render form fields poorly or not at all, and flattened content displays identically everywhere.
It is a one-way operation. Once flattened, the values are text on a page rather than field data, so keep the fillable version if you will need to produce it again.

자주 묻는 질문
Can flattening be undone?
No. Field values become page content permanently. Keep the fillable original.
Do the values look any different?
No. They render in the same position with the same appearance - they simply stop being editable.
Should I flatten before signing?
Flatten the form content first, then sign. Signing first and flattening afterwards can invalidate a digital signature.
How is this different from rasterising?
Flattening keeps the text as text. Rasterising converts the whole page to pixels.
