Turn the answers of a PDF form into part of the page, so nobody can change them.
Each answer is written on the page exactly as it looks in the form, and the fields disappear: the result opens, prints and shares like any other PDF, without boxes to fill in.
Comments, notes, highlights and links stay as they were. Empty fields stay empty.
The answers of the form become part of the page, like printed text, and the fields are removed. Nobody can change them with a PDF reader any more.
Yes, each field keeps the look it has in your PDF. Only a field the PDF has no look saved for is written again, with our font and the size and color the form sets.
Some PDF readers save the answers without their look and ask the next reader to draw them. Then every text field and list is drawn again with our font, and its original look is lost.
Some forms format dates and amounts with their own scripts. When a field has to be drawn again, its value is written as it was saved, without that format.
No. Only the form fields are flattened; comments, notes, highlights and links stay as they were.
The signature still shows on the page, but it is no longer valid: flattening changes the document. Flatten first and sign the result.
Only if it also has regular PDF fields. A form made only with XFA (some government forms that open only in Adobe Reader) cannot be flattened here.
Not if it asks for a password to open. Remove the password first and upload the unprotected copy.
PDFs of up to 300 pages and 25 MB.
