What does 'Flatten Annotations' mean?

Hello, I tried the “flatten annotations” option, but when I then opened it in Adobe Acrobat Pro I was able to edit the annotations. Is there a way to actually completely flatten a pdf so that the annotations are not editable in any software?

Thanks,
-Anna

The flatten feature is not working for me either. All annotations are still editable upon downloading with the “flatten” button checked. Please help!

Hi kjosephs,

I am sorry for the late reply. We changed this option and it no longer functions in that way.

It doesn’t seem to work that way for Google Drive though.
