PDF Flattener

Adobe PDF has a PDF flattener option. Does Aspose.PDF or Aspose.Words have this ability? Can you link me to the documentation?

@Robert343

Thanks for contacting support.

Currently Aspose.PDF offers feature to flatten form fields as well as annotations in PDF document. However, it support managing layers but, I am afraid merging layers within single PDF document is not implemented yet. For the sake of implementation, we have logged a feature request as PDFNET-45732 in our issue tracking system. We will further check the feasibility of the feature and keep you posted with status of its implementation. Please spare us little time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

PS: We will update you from Aspose.Words perspective soon.

@Robert343,

Regrading Aspose.Words, your question is not clear enough therefore we request you to please elaborate your inquiry further by providing complete details of your usecase. What do you mean by flattening a Word document? Please also ZIP and upload your sample input and expected Word documents here for our reference. You can create expected Word document by using Microsoft Word. This will help us to understand your scenario, and we will be in a better position to address your concerns accordingly.
