Frequently Asked Questions

Is flattening a PDF with PDFPilot really free?

Yes. Flatten PDF is completely free to use, with no sign-up or account required.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Flattening happens entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded to PDFPilot's servers.

What does flattening a PDF form actually do?

It converts every fillable field's current value into permanent page content and removes the field itself — after flattening, no one can edit those values, including you.

How is this different from Fill PDF?

Fill PDF lets you type values into a form and locks them in as one step. Flatten PDF is for a form that's already been filled — in PDFPilot or any other app — and you just want to make those values permanent.

What if my PDF doesn't have any form fields?

Flattening a PDF with no form fields simply returns the same PDF unchanged — there's nothing to lock in.
