Flatten a Fillable or Encrypted Document to prepare as a Live Form

Steps to prevent previously filled values being lost when signed off by a client, or the inability to setup as a LiveForm due to encryption.

1 - Download the original file using the Download button (or access your original copy)

 

2 - Open the file using chrome (You can do this by right-clicking the file and using Open With...)

 

3 - Click the Print button (Top right corner)

 

4 - Set the 'Destination' dropdown menu to Save as PDF and then save the document.

 

** You can now set up the form as a Live Form without any fields being wiped! **
