Repair & Flatten PDF

About This Tool

Finalize your document and prevent unintended changes with the Flatten PDF tool. In the world of PDF, content can exist on multiple 'layers'—form fields, sticky notes, comments, and signatures often float above the actual page. Flattening matches these layers and merges them permanently into the background image of the page. This 'bakes' your content into the document. It is the standard procedure before sending a document to a printer (to ensure fonts don't shift) or submitting a legal form (to ensure values aren't changed). It turns an interactive, dynamic document into a static, reliable record. This tool processes files locally in your browser whenever possible, ensuring your sensitive documents remain private and secure. Unlike many online PDF tools that upload your files to remote servers, we prioritize your data privacy. The tool handles large files efficiently and maintains the original quality of your PDFs without compression or degradation. Whether you're a student compiling research, a professional preparing reports, or a business managing contracts, this tool streamlines your PDF workflow. It eliminates the need for expensive Adobe Acrobat subscriptions while providing professional-grade results instantly.
