Flatten PDF for Lawyers
A filing deadline is two hours away and the court portal silently rejects anything over the size cap. If you work as one of the lawyers, you have been there. Confileo's Flatten PDF tool merges form fields, annotations and layers into a fixed, uneditable PDF — free, in your browser, with your files deleted automatically the moment you are done.

Day to day, lawyers handle case files, signed contracts, court exhibits, discovery documents, affidavits and client agreements — exactly the kind of files this tool is built for.
- Assembling dozens of exhibits and pleadings into a single, court-ready bundle with consistent pagination.
- Reducing a multi-hundred-page discovery set to a size the e-filing system will actually accept.
- Permanently removing privileged or personal information before disclosure — not just hiding it.
- Guaranteeing that a document a client receives can no longer be altered.
