## Private by design

Changes are made on your device, in memory. The original file is untouched and the new one is only created when you press the button.

## Good to know

This handles form fields. Comments and sticky notes added in other apps are not affected.

## Questions

### Will it remove my typed answers?

No. They're kept and become fixed text.

### Can flattening be undone?

Not in the new file. Keep your original if you may need to edit again.
