You can use the PDF Optimizer too:

Acrobate du PDF, InDesigner et Photoshopographe

What/where is this? The only Optimize feature I'm familiar with does not have these options, and again, according to Help, this topic just doesn't exist.

Tools > Print Production > Preflight (make sure Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Profiles is selected at the top of the Preflight dialogue) > Select Profiles (the toolbox icon) > Under PDF Fixups, select Flatten annotations and form fields (just be aware this will flatten links as well as form fields).

Please ignore my previous answer as the questioner refine the question to a different question so my answer is now irrelevant.

Sign the form.

I need the form to be unmodifiable before it is signed, because I need to prevent the signer from modifying it. This is a pretty standard expectation, is that possible to accomplish?

I would print to PDF, but apparently you can't do that from the native PDF editing program?

You can flatten the form fields.
