Flatten to Image PDF: Office daily workflow

Flatten sensitive internal reports before archiving. This removes all hidden metadata, edit history, font fingerprints, and form data. Accept the file size increase as the cost of privacy.

Suggested flow

1. Prepare source file(s) and confirm intended recipients.
2. Run this tool with minimal settings first.
3. Review output quality and file size.
4. Combine with scrub flow for external sharing when needed.

What this does not protect

• Scenario guidance reduces risk but does not eliminate it.
• Operational identity leaks can still occur outside this tool.
