Frequently asked questions

Why flatten a PDF?

To set a filled form before sending it: the answers stay visible but can no longer be changed. Comments and highlights become part of the page too.

Is my PDF sent to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device. No file is sent or stored.

Is the original PDF changed?

No. Holy PDF makes a flattened copy. Your original file keeps its editable fields.

Does the text of my PDF stay selectable?

Yes. The pages are not turned into images: only the fields and annotations move into the page content.

Why is my signed PDF refused?

A PDF with a digital signature would lose its validity if it were rewritten. Holy PDF leaves it as it is.
