make changes to pdf files permanent

Post by aguy »

Hi,

I added a couple of text boxes to my pdf files. When I save and reopen this file in a viewer (foxit, adobe, PDF-Xchange), I am able to move the text box around and edit it. Is there a way to make the changes permanent so that they become a part of the document (like flattening layers in Photoshop)?

Thanks.

Yes, just use Flatten Comments feature.

I don't see that feature. I am using version 1.0, build 0018 of the PDF XChange Viewer. Maybe I need the Pro version?

You should upgrade to version 2.0.47 anyway, but yes, to flatten comments you will need to use the Pro version otherwise a watermark will be added.
