Flattening a markup makes the markup become part of the page and no longer a separate markup.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (A)

Flattening a markup merges it into the page so it becomes part of the PDF content rather than remaining a separate, editable annotation. When you flatten, the markup’s appearance stays visible, but its interactive properties are removed and you can no longer select or edit it as a markup. This is why the statement is true: the annotation is baked into the page, turning into fixed content suitable for finalizing, printing, or archiving.
