No. Flattening will convert any signature you applied to a static image. In fact, Acrobat doesn't allow you to flatten a signed file. The only way to do it is to print it to a PDF printer, which is not advised in any case.

    Why is it not advised.  Aren't you wanting to preserve the signature?

    That process does the opposite of preserving the signature. It gets rid of it.
