Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about browser processing, file safety, and format capabilities.
Can someone edit a form field after it has been flattened?
No. Flattening burns form fields and checkboxes directly into the vector page stream, converting them into permanent text and shapes.
Will my text remain sharp and vector-based?
Yes. Our standard flattening preserves vector text, font glyphs, and high-DPI graphics.
Why did my form fields disappear in another viewer before flattening?
Certain viewers do not support dynamic interactive AcroForms. Flattening guarantees identical appearance on every device.
Are my personal financial or medical forms uploaded anywhere?
Never. Flattening occurs strictly in browser RAM. Your data stays entirely on your computer.
