I have a pdf that contains forms. I want to save this file as a pdf with the values of the forms remaining but without the forms.

The pdf files are made for printing, but the company that will be printing the files cant print them when the forms are still in the pdf.

Im using fdf-toolkit to modify the values of the forms, and vbscirpt.

Can someone help me with this?

You can use JavaScirpt to flatten the PDF form fields.

PDFScripting.com offers a free automation tool to add a toolbar button, http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/65.cfm. If you need to process a large number of forms at one time, you can create a Batch Process to do this. There is also a Preflight Profile that will also provide this function.
