Questions people ask

What happens if the PDF has no form fields?

Nothing changes — the file downloads as-is, since there's nothing to flatten.

Can I un-flatten a PDF later?

No — flattening is permanent. Keep a copy of the original if you might need editable fields again.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No — flattening happens entirely in your browser.
