Frequently Asked Questions

1What's the difference from full flatten?

This only flattens form fields. Full flatten also removes annotations.

Why Use ZiaSign's Flatten Forms Only Tool?

ZiaSign's form-only flattener converts fillable form fields into static text while preserving annotations. Filled values become permanent, non-editable content. Annotations like comments and highlights remain interactive.
