One PDF only. This browser-only version supports files up to 40MB.
All processing stays local in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Current Scope
This version only handles one existing AcroForm PDF, turns the current form field appearances into static page content, and exports one new local copy.
It is not a form-filling tool, signing tool, whole-page image flattener, encryption tool, or full PDF editor. This version does not handle signatures, signature validation, encryption, whole-page raster flattening, compliance judgments, or outcome guarantees.
Flattening is usually a final step before sharing, printing, or archiving. Once exported, the original interactive fields usually cannot be edited anymore.
Scope, Sources & Review Reminder
Reviewed: 2026-03-20 · Updated: 2026-03-20
This version works best for regular, unencrypted, structurally normal AcroForm PDFs without signature fields. It is not suitable for signed/certified/signature-adjacent files, whole-page image flattening, encryption/permission needs, or formal compliance decisions.
