When this tool is useful
Creating a read-only visual copy of a completed AcroForm for routine sharing when recipients do not need to edit its fields.
How local processing works
The browser loads the form, refreshes field appearances, draws those appearances into the pages, removes the interactive widgets, and saves a new PDF.
How to use it
- Choose the source files.
- Review the available settings and page order.
- Process locally, inspect the result, and download it.
Important limitations
Flattening is irreversible in the output and does not preserve field editing, calculations, JavaScript, or digital-signature validity. XFA and unusual forms may not be supported; keep the original.
Private by design
Your files stay in this browser. The tool does not upload the source or output to our servers.
