pdf flattening
Could someone help me with this? Beginning this month our planning department is requiring all plans to be submitted online. I gave a builder the layout as a pdf printed in CA. The customer got a call from the building department saying that the designer (me) needs to turn off the layers and flatten the pdf (referring to pdf layers not plan layers). I have googled it but have not figured out how to do this. It is probably simple but apparently not for me. Could anyone help me with this?
Yes it can also be done in Adobe Acrobat but the problem is that it can't be done in Chief and if it is required for Construction Documents then maybe we should be able to do it in chief so that new users can produce a set of drawings without buying a whole bunch of other software to complete the task.
But since the OP was asking how it could be done maybe we missed the point of the question.
