Why Flatten a PDF?

Have you ever filled out a form or added a signature to a PDF, only to find that someone else could still edit or move the content?


That’s where the "Flatten PDF Tool" comes in. Just like laminating a paper document to keep everything in place, flattening a PDF locks in all the added elements—text, images, signatures, highlights—so no one can change them again.


Whether you're sending important forms, contracts, or documents that must remain unchanged, this tool is your best friend. And the good news? You don’t need any tech skills to use it!
