Flatten a Document
Annotations, like comment boxes, highlights, and signatures, can be edited by other PDF editors once you share a document. A way to prevent this is to flatten a document, thereby removing the ability to edit annotations. You can flatten a document upon export from the “Share” menu. This will not effect the version of the document you are currently editing.
- Tap “Tools” from Page view, or tap “Select” from Files view.
- Tap “Share” to open the Share sheet and select from available options. Tap “More” if you do not see your preferred option.
- Tap “Share Flattened.”
