Flatten form fields and remove active PDF content.

Bring your files here. Pagelea processes them directly in your browser: no upload and no document left on a server.
Work on a copy. Sanitizing intentionally removes annotations, links, bookmarks, attachments, scripts, actions, and metadata; verify form values and page appearance afterward.
How it works
How to sanitize and flatten a PDF
Flatten visible form values, remove annotations, actions, scripts, attachments, and metadata, then rebuild the pages in a fresh PDF.
- 01
Open the PDF you want to sanitize.
- 02
Pagelea validates and flattens supported form fields locally.
- 03
Active annotations, scripts, actions, attachments, and metadata are removed.
- 04
Download the sanitized copy and verify its appearance.
Your documents, your device
Private work should stay private.
Every published Pagelea tool processes document bytes in this browser. There is no document-upload endpoint or cloud document library, and refreshing the page clears the workspace.
