I'm working with loads of PDF-files and often i get aktive files, my question is how do i turn it off? i cant find anything about it, only how to turn it on.

I found out that i can print them as a new PDF and it'll be a normal document but is there not an easier way?

Hope someone can help!

Sure, it's possible. You just need to execute the following JavaScript code:

this.flattenPages();

You can do it from the Console window, an Action or even a special menu item (if you write a script that adds it and install it in the application's Javascripts folder).

You can flatten a file to convert the form fields in it to static contents, if that's what you mean.

It's a much better way than printing it to a new PDF file, which can cause all kinds of problems.

To flatten the file you can use this tool: UVSAR : Selective Flattener tool for Adobe Acrobat 8, 9 and X

It's a bit old, but should still work fine.
