I have an editable Pdf that I made into a sample form for filling. I'd like to flatten it.

Is there a way to save a fillable form so that it keeps the filled data but flattens it? So that the fillable fields are no longer present?

Thanks but I work for a agency in NY and getting software installed requires vetting that most presidential candidates don't have to endure (obviously). I went to print production>flattener Preview and that did the trick.

You can use this free utility to do that: UVSAR : Selective Flattener tool for Adobe Acrobat 8, 9 and X

That works too... You can also use an Action and this simple JS code:

this.flattenPages();
