Flatten PDF for sales teams

Updated July 2026

Arthize lets sales teams flatten a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Flattening a PDF merges form fields, annotations and layers into the page, so nobody can change filled-in values and the file renders everywhere.

Why sales teams flatten a PDF

A sales rep merges a proposal, pricing sheet and case study into one packet, exports the quote to a fixed PDF, and sends the contract for e-signature to close the deal.

Built for proposals. Whether it's proposals, quotes, contracts, Arthize's flatten pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Pricing and contracts are commercially sensitive; a private workspace keeps deals confidential.

What matters when you flatten a PDF

Flattening bakes form fields and annotations into the page so they can't be changed.

It fixes forms that display differently in different viewers.

A flattened PDF is the safe way to share a completed form.
