How to Flatten a PDF Signature
Make a PDF signature permanent so it cannot be removed or moved. Free flattening tool.
A PDF signature added as an annotation can be deleted by the recipient. Flattening it merges it permanently into the page — it cannot be removed without obvious tampering.
Steps
Sign the PDF (using FixMyPDF sign tool or any signing app). Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/flatten-pdf. Upload the signed PDF. Flatten. Download.
Legal Note
Flattening embeds the signature visually but does not add cryptographic verification. For legally binding e-signatures, use a certified e-signature service. For informal agreements, a flattened visual signature is typically sufficient.
