Automating PDF Flattening with Adobe PDF Services (.NET SDK)

[yogesh124]

We are currently working on a project where we need to upload documents to a third-party system that only accepts flattened PDFs. At present, our users manually flatten documents using the Microsoft PDF driver to generate the flattened PDF file. We want to automate this process using Adobe PDF Services.

Our workflow involves merging documents from Word templates and converting them to PDF files. Does Adobe PDF Services provide a feature to flatten PDF documents? If so, could you please guide us through implementing this?

Thank you for your assistance!
