Dov - respectfully, while it has been quite a few years since I used Acrobat Pro, there was a "flatten" command in one of the main drop down menus. Whatever it may have meant technically, it did what I needed it to do. I don't think I'm imagining it, since I worked with PDF's on a mostly daily basis. But I suppose I could be experiencing a senior moment. However, I am able to perform similar functions in Foxit and Nitro Pro quite easily - which I use on my other machines. Since it came as an option on my new Dell, I thought I would give Acrobat a chance, especially since the description promised editing functions. But today, when I went to do something I do all the time in other programs (and which I swear I also did easily in the last version of Pro I used) - I could not. And I discovered Standard DC, which was not cheap, cannot perform the function (unless I start installing scripts - and that is not my expertise). And Adobe wants $200 for me to upgrade to Pro after I already spent money on Standard. I am unsure why Adobe charges $500 for Pro as a standalone, when other programs do the same for $150. It's frustrating.
