SUMMARY

Flattening a PDF in Adobe Acrobat 7 involves embedding drawings and markups directly into the document to ensure they are included when printing. Users must utilize the drawing and markup tools, which place elements on top of the PDF. Without flattening, these elements may be ignored during printing. The process ensures that all visual elements are permanently integrated into the PDF.

Can I "flatten" a pdf in Acrobat?

In Adobe Acrobat you've got some drawing and markup tools. When using these, what happens is that whatever you draw is placed "on top" of the pdf. Also, when you print you need to specify that drawings/markups are to be included. Otherwise they're just ignored. Is there a way to "flatten" the pdf so that drawings/markups are embedded in the document and can't accidentally be left out when printing? I'm using Acrobat 7.
