freeware program to flatten pdf files?

[pennylane]

I've looked through the freeware thread. I couldn't find anything.

I just need teh program to flatten objects within the pdf. It doesn't have to do anything else except that.

Thanks.

Did you try and see if they have it at: http://sourceforge.net/

I checked but I couldn't find anything. I'll try again, but anybody have any other ideas? Thanks.

What does :"flatten" an object mean? Convert 3-D to 2-D? I can do just about anything in a PDF file with Nitro PDF.

Hmm. Well I was using PDF x-change viewer to type and draw a little on some PDF's. But the objects (text and lines) are still there. Other pdf readers can see the objects, but they can't edit them. I want to just flatten the pdf's so pdf readers can't see the objects anymore.

Perhaps these could be of some help to you:

Thanks for the links Sam25. I don't have Acrobat though. Only reader. I need some form of Acrobat right? I suppose I could use a demo for a bit.

No problem! I think there is a 30-day trial version demo you can download It would be great if a free Adobe Acrobat type software could be available!
