Flattening a PDF file is the process of converting elements of a document into a single static layer, ensuring both document security and integrity, preventing easy editing or manipulation. PDF flattening can involve all elements of the document (text, images and form fields) or just the form fields. The result is a more secure document that is not only difficult to modify but also safer to share.
