Flatten a PDF form
Bake filled-in form fields into the page so they can no longer be edited.
Mae's Flatten PDF tool merges every AcroForm field's current value permanently into the page content, then removes the interactive form layer. Use it once a form is finished, so recipients see the entered values as regular, non-editable text.
Frequently asked questions
Can the form still be edited after flattening?
No — the fields are converted to static page content, so the values are locked in place.
What if the PDF has no form fields?
Mae returns the PDF unchanged if there's no AcroForm to flatten.
