Not Able To Share Flatted Copy

[kamlesh_kumar]

I am using Acrobat Premium on Android 16. My device is samsung galaxy s24 ultra. The latest version 24.8.1 released on 11/12/2025 is installed in my phone. The flatten pdf feature is missing, means your edit is noticeable or editable by other users. Kindly fix the issue.

@kamlesh_kumar The mobile version will always be different from the desktop version. So, it has simplified some of the mobile features. And yes, the flatten PDF was likely removed. Besides using the desktop app, on your mobile, you can try using the Optimize PDF or Compress PDF tool, not exactly "flattening," compressing the PDF sometimes triggers a level of optimization that merges layers.

Hi @kamlesh_kumar,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble with using Acrobat Reader Mobile.

While I verify this with the team, if there is a change in the recent release, would you mind trying out the workaround?

To save a flattened copy, click the three dots at the top right of the file (when opened) or the three dots to the right of the file name in the Recent list, and then print the file.

In the print window, click the printer dropdown to select "Save as PDF" to save a flattened copy of the file.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Souvik.
