Flatten to Image PDF: Secure sharing workflow

Before sharing with external parties or submitting to journalists, flatten guarantees that no hidden data survives — no fonts, forms, scripts, layers, EXIF, or structure. Combine with Paranoid Scrub for the strongest protection available.

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.
