Flatten Comments
Click Flatten Comments to flatten comments from the comments layer to the base content layer of documents. This process removes all hyperlinks and flattens fillable forms into selectable text. Flattened comments cannot be edited in the standard manner for comments, but they can be edited as base content, as detailed here. The Flatten Annotations dialog box will open.
