Flatten PDF JavaScript Overview
Flatten PDF JS module is a tool that secures PDF documents by locking interactive elements and preserving their visual layout. It ensures form fields and annotations cannot be modified, while offering the ability to protect text from selection, copying, and extraction by converting it into vector paths. This makes the PDF fully read-only without compromising its original quality.

File
File Supported formats: .pdfFile to be converted. Value can be URL or file content.
Password
StringSets the password to open protected PDF.
FlattenControls
Bool Default: TruePrevent form controls such as text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns from being edited by converting them into static page content while preserving their original appearance in the PDF.
FlattenWidgets
Bool Default: TruePrevent widget annotations such as buttons, list boxes, and signature fields from being interactive by converting them into static page content while preserving their original appearance in the PDF.
FlattenText
Bool Default: TruePrevent text selection, copying, and extraction by turning the textual symbols into vectorial paths to make the PDF read-only while preserving the original vectorial PDF quality.
StoreFile
Bool Default: FalseWhen the StoreFile parameter is set to True, your converted file is written to ConvertAPI’s encrypted, temporary storage and made available via a time-limited secure download URL, valid for up to 3 hours. After this period, the file is permanently deleted.
When StoreFile is set to False, conversion happens entirely in-memory. The raw file bytes are streamed back in the API response without touching disk or external storage, ensuring maximum security and zero persistence so that only you can access the content.
