Hi, I am inserting several flattened versions of a form into one PDF, but the new inserts always default to the original page. Yes, the fillable boxes have the same field name from document to document when they are in fillable form. I'm flattening with Microsoft Print to PDF and by signing the document, but they are still acting like the fillable boxes are live and duplcating the information from the first version.

I'd like to get some clarity on your request, please. Your forms are in Word format, correct? You then print to Microsoft Print to PDF, and you don't get different results from different forms? If you could describe the details, or maybe even include a screenshot or tow, it might help troubleshoot.
My best,
Dave

Hi, it's not a word document. It's a fillable Adobe PDF. When you print, you can chose Microsoft Print to PDF or Adobe PDF as printer locations in order to flatten the fillable forms.

Signing a document does not flatten it. It locks the fields, but they remain as field objects within it.
If you want to flatten the files you can use this script:
this.flattenPages();
