Create a finalized version that can't be modified.
Flattening converts interactive elements (forms, annotations) into static page content. The visual appearance stays the same, but the elements can no longer be edited.
Flatten PDFs before printing, archiving, or sharing final versions. It ensures the document looks identical for everyone and prevents accidental changes.
