FAQ
- Are my PDFs uploaded?
- No. Inspection, flattening, and export run in your browser.
- Will fields still be editable?
- No. Form flattening fixes field appearances, and static-page flattening removes editable objects from the output.
- Will text stay selectable?
- Only forms-only flattening can keep selectable text. Static-page flattening converts the visible page to an image.
