All comments and annotations are editable after applying Flatten Comments Command.
Only Sticky Notes disappear...
Am I doing something wrong?

Flatten Comments doesn't work for me

Re: Flatten Comments doesn't work for me
Hello OVG,
Which settings do you have selected in the "Flatten comments" section?
Also, what tool are you using to edit these comments? flatten comments should convert most comments into base content, so if you are using the "Edit > content" tool, it would be expected to work in most cases. If you can share the before and after versions of your file, that would be helpful.
Kind regards,

Re: Flatten Comments doesn't work for me
Hello, Daniel!
Thank you for reply.
Flatten Settings:
Look for test files in attachment.
I can use Select text, edit text, highlight text, delete text or shapes in "flatted" file

Re: Flatten Comments doesn't work for me
Hello OVG,
These files seem to be correct. The flattened version is indeed flattened, and can only be edited with the "Edit content" tools, with the "select comments" tool having no control over ay aspect of them.
Are you expecting different?

Hello Daniel!
I thought that the flattened content would not be editable at all ....

Hi OVG,
That is a common misconception. Flattening converts the comments into "base content". If you wish to make all content non editable, the simplest method is to apply document security. An alternative is to print the document to our standard printer, and enable the "print as image" function. converting the entire document into a single image.
Kind regards.
