The link does not work. Adobe, flattening a file was not only great for size reduction, but it allowed us to secure our edits so that no one could change them. Why on earth would you remove this great feature on mobile and why is it buried in a highly technical non-user-friendly format on Acrobat DC - virtually unusable. Many folks use Adobe as a basic business tool. Not everyone is a technical designer.

Bring back flattening as a simple option on all platforms.

Save your breath. They disable anything they can charge a fee for. Then you sign up and end up in a maze of versions and variations, and log-ins and non log-ins of the same app.

I came here looking for an answer myself. It used to be readily available.

So they cannot edit the form fields? Fill out the form and then Print to PDF.

This option is not available on the iPad or the iPhone, as far as I know.

Previously you had the option to either send as a flattened file or a copy of the original.

So I am still none the wiser.

[Discussion moved from Acrobat Reader to Acrobat Reader for iPhone and iPad

since this question is not about Acrobat Reader after all.]

The free Adobe Acrobat Reader cannot flatten a file. There's nothing you can do with Reader to keep someone from editing it. There may be a few things you can try with the full version of Acrobat.
