Hi, I am editing a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, which contains actoForm. At the end I would like to flatten the file, basically I would like to remove all the references inside the PDF to the acroForm, because I am having a validation tool and it fails if the reference is there. Also it complains because of embedded fonts. Unfortunately I didn't managed to do so.

Can anybody help me with this problem?

You can flatten the file using this JS command:

this.flattenPages();

I'm not sure this will remove the AcroForm object from the file, though, as it's an integral part of the document structure.
