How it works
Process writes the file again with form fields flattened, then downloads it. Catch the throw and still save. The job runs in this tab. The file is not posted to PactPDF. Form fields only.
On this device
The file stays in this tab. The flattened file downloads here. Close the tab and the job is gone. There is no locker.
When to use
A form you filled and do not want left as fields. An offer pack that should not stay editable. A tender form that needs to travel as pages, not fields.
When not to use
Removing a mark you still need to edit. Flatten bakes the fields in. A locked file must be decrypted first.
