Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to flatten a PDF?
Flattening a PDF merges form fields, check boxes, or annotations directly into the document structure, making them non-editable.
Why should I flatten my PDF forms?
Flattening prevents others from altering or modifying the values you filled in, which is ideal for sharing signed contracts or completed forms.
Are my PDF files uploaded to any server?
No. Your PDF files are processed entirely in your web browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.
Is there a limit on the file size or page count?
No. Since the processing runs locally on your computer, there are no hard limits enforced by our server. It only depends on your system's memory (RAM).
Is this PDF tool completely free?
Yes, all PDF tools on Zaeyon are 100% free with no limits, no registration, and no ads or watermarks.
