Turn a filled-in PDF form into a normal, non-editable document. Your answers stay exactly as typed, the fields disappear, and scripts are stripped. Form fields are flattened in your browser.
All text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons and dropdowns become part of the page, answers included.
Tick "Flatten comments and stamps too". That step runs on our server; the file is deleted right after.
Flattening does not lock a file. Add a password instead.

Optional server step to flatten comments and stamps too
Many government, exam and job portals reject fillable PDFs. Flatten before you upload.
Send a signed-off version nobody can quietly edit field by field.
Some printers and viewers drop form field values. Flattened values always print.
A fillable PDF keeps each answer in a separate form field layered on top of the page. Flattening draws every answer onto the page itself and removes the fields, so the document looks identical but can no longer be edited field by field.
Forms filled in a browser often save the answer without redrawing the field (they set a flag called NeedAppearances). Tools that flatten the stored drawing produce empty boxes. This tool redraws every field from its value first, so your answers are kept.
