How can I save a pdf in the flattened version

I have used the Acrobat app on my I pad for some time now. It has always given me an option to share or save a pdf in the flattened version but ever since the app has updated, it doesn’t look like its capable of saving a flattened document anymore. Is that correct?

Hi WPS - Noe,

We just released Acrobat Reader 18.12.00 to the App Store on December 14, 2018.

This release offers the flattening option in Acrobat's Settings > Preferences.

Please see the updated forum FAQ document.

Would you please update to 18.12.00 and see if it works for you?

Thank you!

Hi WPS - Noe,

The "Share Flatten Copy" option is no longer available via Share in Acrobat 18.09.13 or later.

However, there is a way to generate a flattened copy in Acrobat.  Please take a look the forum document below,

Sorry for any inconvenience,
