Adobe Professional 8 as well as the Adobe SDK version 8.1 supports the ability to optimize a PDF file by flattening form fields as described in the attached (original source http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/pdf/). Does Aspose provide a similar function in one of its SDKs? If not, is such functionality planned for a future release? Any help would be much appreciated 
Hi Gary,
Thank you very much for considering Aspose.
I would like to inform you that Aspose.Pdf.Kit for .NET allows you to either flatten all fields or a particular field in a PDF file. You can use FlattenAllFields or FlattenField methods of Form class to flatten all fields or a particular field respectively.
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do let us know.
Regards,
Shahzad, thank you very much for your reply! I will give this a try and let you know if I run into any difficulties.
