> Documentation for *PDAcroForm.flatten(List<PDField>, boolean)* says "This will flatten the specified form fields".
> But the following code works same as *PDAcroForm.flatten()* though excepted to flatten only one field.
> {code:java}
> PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File("/flatten_fields.pdf"));
> PDAcroForm acroForm = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
> List<PDField> fields = new ArrayList<>(); 
> fields.add(acroForm.getField("flatten"));
> acroForm.flatten(fields, true);
> document.save("/flatten_result.pdf");
> document.close();
> {code}
