Guide & FAQ

Why Choose Dely PDF

Turn Form Fields Into Static Content

Turn checkboxes and fillable fields into permanent, static content, while the rest of the page's text stays selectable and copyable as normal.

Lock Everything Down, With Your Choice of Resolution

Lock down an entire page as a flat image, with your choice of resolution, so nothing on it can be selected, copied, or edited anymore.

Process Several Files at Once

Add multiple PDFs and flatten them all in one action instead of doing it file by file. Part of Dely PDF Pro.

PRO

Your Privacy Stays Protected

The entire process runs directly in your browser. No file is ever sent to a server, so your personal documents never leave your device.

What Is This Tool For?

Lock a Completed Form

Lock a completed form or agreement, like a registration or approval, so its fields can't be changed anymore after it's submitted or signed.

Prevent Text From Being Copied

Turn an important document, like a contract or official report, into an image so its text can't be copied or edited with a PDF editor.

Archive a Final, Unchangeable Version

Archive the final version of a document in a form that can no longer change, safe to keep as your long-term record.

Keep Printing and Layout Consistent

Raster mode locks in the page's exact appearance, fonts included, so it looks and prints identically on any device, even ones without the original fonts installed.

How It Works

1

Add Your PDF

Select or drag and drop a PDF from your device. Everything is processed directly in your browser, never sent to any server.

2

Choose a Mode

Pick Form (stays selectable, only locks the fields) or Raster (locks everything down as an image, with your choice of DPI).

3

Save the Result

Your flattened PDF is ready to download instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Form mode only locks interactive fields, the page's regular text stays selectable and copyable. Raster mode turns the entire page into an image, so no text can be selected or edited at all.

No. Only the form fields are converted to static content, the page's text and images are untouched.

It depends on the DPI you choose. A higher DPI, like 300, produces a sharper result but a larger file size.

The process still runs without an error, but there won't be a meaningful change since there are no fields to lock. Use Raster mode instead if your goal is to lock down the entire page.

You can add multiple files, but processing them all at once (batch) is a Dely PDF Pro feature. Free users can process one file at a time.

No. Everything runs directly in your browser. Files are never sent to a server, so your document stays on your own device.
