Turn filled form fields, signatures and comments into plain page content.
Runs on your device. Your file is not uploaded.
Free to open and preview. Downloading the result needs PDF Tower: $89.99 a year or $12.49 a month. See pricing
What it does
Flattening merges what you typed and drew into the page itself, so the values look the same in every viewer and can't be changed in the fields.
How it works
- Choose a filled or annotated PDF.
- Check the preview.
- Download the flattened copy with a PDF Tower plan.
Good to know
- Keep an unflattened copy if you may need to change the answers later.
- Some recipients ask for the original fillable form; check before you flatten.
- Included in every plan, from $89.99 a year. Compare plans
