Hi ghalih, Potsyfrisk, Chris Hemmel,

We just released Acrobat Reader 18.12.00 to the App Store on December 14, 2018.

This release offers the new flattening option in Acrobat Settings > Preferences.

Please see the updated forum FAQ document for more details.

Hi,

That link does not appear to work anymore.

Is there still a solution to this issue?

Hi all,

The "Share Flatten Copy" option is no longer available via the new Share feature in Acrobat 18.09.13 or later.

But, there is a way to generate a flattened copy in Acrobat.  Please take a look at this forum document.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am having the same problem here on my iPad. It’s making me insane.  I use the flattened copy to send it to notability so that my clients can sign their credit card authorization forms. It is not a small matter and it has to be fixed by Adobe immediately!
