Shapes

Question

In Acrobat DC I understand that the shape tools are located in the comments section.

Is there a way to make these "shape comments" actual drawing objects. I am experiencing

a problem where the shapes are selectable after form distribution, I would like to make

un-selectable. Any input would help, Thanks

You can flatten the comment annotations, which converts them to regular page contents. Here's a link to a free JavaScript-based tool that makes this easy: UVSAR : Selective Flattener tool for Adobe Acrobat 8, 9 and X

It works with Acrobat DC and 11, you just need to install the .js file in the right location. Post again if you get stuck.
