I am trying to flatten a PDF using Version 2024.004.20272 on Mac. I am an attorney and frequently need to flatten PDFs that otherwise have fillable fields, but I am having a lot of difficulty. I am opening the PDF, selecting "Use print production" from the tool list, but the option for Flattener preview is grayed out. Is there not a means of easily and quickly flattening PDFs?

Correct answer PDF Automation Station

The easiest way, IMO, is to run the following script in the console:

this.flattenPages();
