More Control with New Flatten PDF Properties
2 days ago by Paulius Petkus
We’ve just enhanced our PDF to Flatten API with three new powerful properties, giving you more control over how your documents are processed:
FlattenControls
– Prevent form controls (like text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns) from being edited by converting them into static page content while keeping their original appearance.FlattenWidgets
– Disable widget annotations (buttons, list boxes, signature fields, etc.) by converting them into non-interactive elements while preserving their look.FlattenText
– Prevent text selection, copying, and extraction by turning text into vector paths, making your PDF read-only while maintaining original quality.
✨ Default for all three is: true
These options let you fine-tune the flattening process to balance security, interactivity, and usability - all while preserving your document’s original design.
