More Control with New Flatten PDF Properties
We've enhanced the PDF to Flatten API with three new properties that give you more control over how documents are processed, letting you balance security, interactivity, and usability while preserving the original design.
Parameters
FlattenControls(bool, defaulttrue) - convert form controls (text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns) into static page content so they can't be edited, while keeping their original appearance.FlattenWidgets(bool, defaulttrue) - convert widget annotations (buttons, list boxes, signature fields, etc.) into non-interactive elements while preserving their look.FlattenText(bool, defaulttrue) - turn text into vector paths to prevent selection, copying, and extraction, making the PDF read-only while maintaining original quality.
