About Flatten PDF
Berlvis Flatten PDF turns an interactive PDF into a static one. Form fields, annotations and signature widgets are baked into the page so the recipient cannot accidentally edit them. Useful right before sending a completed form to a counterparty.

Yes. Every tool on Berlvis Tools is free with no signup, no watermark and no daily quota. No signup, no email, no watermark, no file-size cap, no daily quota, Berlvis Tools is 100% free because the heavy lifting happens on your computer, not on a paid server.
+Are my files safe when I use Flatten PDF?
