🔐 What does "Lock" do? All interactive fields (text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns) are permanently flattened into the page. The resulting PDF cannot be edited – form entries become as if they were printed on paper. Perfect for signed contracts, final applications, or archived submissions.

📖 Why Lock / Flatten PDF Forms? (Step by Step)
- Step 1: Upload a fillable PDF form (AcroForms).
- Step 2: The tool analyses the document and detects all form fields.
- Step 3: Click "Lock Form (Flatten)" – the fields are permanently merged into the page background.
- Step 4: Download the locked PDF. The resulting file has no editable fields – it behaves like a static document.
- Step 5: Use the locked PDF for contracts, final submissions, or archiving where further edits must be prevented.
💡 Security & Privacy
