Frequently asked questions
What if my PDF has no form fields?
It is returned unchanged, and the page tells you so.
Can I edit the form afterwards?
No. Flattening makes the fields part of the page, so keep a copy if you may need to edit them.
Are my files kept?
No. Uploads are removed as soon as the job finishes, and the finished file expires about an hour later. Nothing is sent to a third-party service.
