FyPDFs · Finish
Flatten a PDF, so it stays as it is.
Form fields, comments, annotations and layers are pressed into the page, so the PDF looks and prints the same everywhere and can't be filled in again.

Good to know
What it does, and what it doesn't.
01
How
Each page is drawn again as an image and put back together, so nothing on it can be changed by a form or a comment.
02
The trade
Text on a flattened page can't be selected or searched any more. Keep the original if you'll need that.
Then
Carry on from here.
In the studio, "Continue with" hands the result straight to the next job — no download in between.
Questions
Asked and answered.
Why flatten?
To send a filled form that can't be changed, or to make sure comments and watermarks print as you see them.
Is it free?
Yes. It runs in your browser, with no account and no daily limit.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It's read and written on your own machine.
