Is there a way (if not, there should be imao) to export/print into a pdf that is flat? I.e. just like printing to paper and rescanning? (I don't want to resort to the latter)
I could list 100 reasons why it would be useful to be able to do this, so please none of the usual "Why would you want to do that?" or "That's not the correct way...blah blah blah" that is too often found here.
If you're on a Windows machine you can print the file to the Adobe PDF printer, thereby creating a new copy of it.
If you want to convert the entire file to images then you can export it to image files (PNG, for example) and then create a new PDF from that.
If you want to flatten dynamic objects (like form fields, comments, links, etc.) then you can use a simple script to do it.
There are many ways your request can be interpreted... If you provide some more information about what you're trying to achieve it will be easier to help you do it.
