Flattening is applied to a file in which you want to merge various elements to present just one final product, an edited image in Photoshop, or in this case, the PDF form which you’ve filled out. Making data uneditable in a PDF form is commonly known as “flattening” a PDF form, a term you may know if you frequently work with Photoshop. This can be a very handy feature, but you may not understand what to do if you’ve filled out some info in a form and want to convert it into a PDF that is no longer editable. Some companies and organizations also use PDFs for electronic forms that include editable fields that allow you to fill in data.
PDFs are known and favoured because of their ability to preserve document layout and structure across platforms.
PDF applications are widely used all around the globe.
