Flatten PDF in Hangar

Flatten PDF is coming soon to Hangar. It is planned for turning interactive form fields and page annotations into fixed page content, so the document no longer depends on editable overlays.

The goal is a PDF that looks the same when shared or printed while keeping the work on your own computer. Exact flattening choices and compatibility will be published after the tool is implemented and tested.
