Question

Send form as "flattened" copy

Hello,

I want to create a "Send" button that sends the form as a "flattened" copy via email. In other words, the original should remain unaffected. Is this possible? Can someone help me?

If I just use the command "this.flattenPages();" it changes my original form...

Thank you very much!

You can flatten the file, send it, and then close it without saving. Alternatively, you can set the fields as read-only before sending the file, and then sent them back as editable afterwards.

Sadly, this won't work on iOS. You can't close it without saving it. The App saves it automatically...

You cannot programaticaly flatten fields on iOS.
