> Hi!
> When I flatten a pdf file containing both visible and hidden fields, the hidden ones surprisingly become visible. I believe that the hidden ones should be kept hidden, e.g. by dropping them completely before flattening.
> I made a workaround which removes hidden fields from the document before flattening but it would make sense that the library would do this automatically, and therefore I suspect that this is a bug.
> Cheers!
