More Control with New Flatten PDF Properties

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.
