When to use Flatten PDF
Keep filled form values visible
Form mode draws supported field appearances into the pages and removes their widgets. Check every value in the saved PDF.
Create an image-only page copy
All-content mode renders page appearances into images. It removes interactive features and searchable text from the output.
Choose the preservation tradeoff
Use form mode when ordinary text should remain searchable. Use raster mode when a page appearance is more useful than editable content.
