Flatten a Form from VB.NET

We have a program that merges multiple PDFs into one and then there is an option to create an electronic signature to a separate PDF that is post fixed to the merged files.  We found a problem doing this when one of those initially merged files is a submittal form.  I'd like to flatten those files programmatically before being merged.  Is there a way to do this in DC from VB.NET?

 

Thank you

Yes, have you looked at the IAC reference?  You can call JavaScript functions from the IAC, so you can call the doc.flattenPages() function.

Thank you!  I just used GetJSObject() to reference the flattenPages() function and it works.
