Quick Guide for Windows

You can save a document as a PDF file or a flattened PDF file with PDF Reader Pro. A flattened PDF means all interactive elements will be merged into a single layer so you can't change or remove them such as text markups, sticky notes, shapes, and more. While saving as a common PDF file allows you to modify the annotations. Here is a guide to teach you how to save a PDF file.
