Thank you guys for your feedback. The flatten function is running. Great. Can you give me a tip how can I save the pdf file under a different path and different Name? My idea is to use it in the same JavaScript after the flatten function.

Dear gkaiseril,

Thank you very much for your answer. I don't have so much experiences in using JavaScript. In read the article and all the comments for different times now. I always got the security message. What is the easiest way to save the pdf file? What is necessary to run the SaveAs command. I tried to put into the "app.priv" Parameters but it didn't work. Do you have more Information or an example?

Thank you very much. Regards,

Thorsten

As noted you can flatten the PDF using JavaScript. One can then save the flattened file or use the "Export to" to create a file of the PDF in a different format.
