Frequently asked questions

Can I edit a form after flattening?

Flattened form fields become page content rather than interactive input boxes; keep your original if you need to edit answers later.

What does the All mode include?

All flattens form fields and burns annotations into the page appearance; Forms focuses on form fields.

Will I lose searchable text?

Standard flattening is not the same as rasterizing. If you enable rasterization, pages become images at 150 dpi and text is no longer selectable.

Is this a secure redaction tool?

No. Flattening is for appearance and interactivity, not guaranteed removal of sensitive underlying content.

What are the upload and privacy rules?

Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.
