Flatten/Merge existing form field appearances with the page content and
remove widget annotation.
Form 'flattening' refers to the operation that changes active form fields
into a static area that is part of the PDF document, just like the other
text and images in the document. A completely flattened PDF form does not
have any widget annotations or interactive fields.
