Quality and processing notes

Keep an original copy before removing, flattening or encrypting document features. Some security settings are policy flags rather than absolute protection.

When possible, this tool works directly in your browser. If the job needs features that are not available there, Tool67 can use temporary server processing to complete the task and return the result.

Questions people ask

Does Flatten PDF Forms change the original file?
