A few things to know
Will flattening work with every form?
No. This tool flattens supported saved form appearances. Check that filled values appear correctly in the result; unusual or unsaved form appearances may not be preserved.
Are files uploaded?
No. Processing and downloads are generated locally in your browser.
Does this support every PDF?
No. Encrypted files need unlocking first. Scans have no editable text without OCR. Complex fonts, tables, annotations and large documents can have limitations; the workspace explains the supported behavior.
