The fillable PDF provided by FEMA -- at least the version I've been using -- is secured, which means that you can't flatten the form fields to prevent (or at least complicate) alteration, and you can't remove extraneous pages. The workaround I've been using is to save the PDF as jpg files, then recombine those (drag 'n drop) to create a new PDF, but you lose some resolution in the process. Any better ideas on how to handle this?
I print it to paper. Check it for accuracy, remove pages then scan the paper back into PDF. I have a great printer/scanner and even the photos are all good.
Jim,
Have you tried to print the completed forms using a print to PDF driver?
I do not understand why a federal agency locks public form blanks. The also did it to the word document.
Print to PDF (on my computer) brings along all the edit possibilities and unwanted pages and that is what @jim-frame wants to eliminate.
Try using Cute PDF. It is a free program. You can select it as your printer and print your completed certificate, then this program has a bunch of editing capabilities and one of which is allowing you to delete, replace, or add pages to the resulting pdf.
