aplati

Explanation:
I don't generally go for CL5, but in this case, there's some convincing and authoritative evidence.

"Le menu Options du volet Calques vous permet également de définir l'affichage des calques, de restaurer leur apparence d'origine, de réduire ou de développer la liste des calques, de fusionner des calques dans l'un des calques existants ou de fusionner tous les calques du document principal à l'aide de la commande Aplatir les calques (également disponible sous forme d'option en sélectionnant Traitement avancé > Document actif > Aplatir le fichier). "

"L’aplatissement réduit la taille de fichier en fusionnant tous les calques visibles dans l’arrière-plan et en supprimant les calques masqués. Toute zone transparente restante est remplie avec du blanc. Lorsque vous enregistrez une image aplatie, vous ne pouvez pas revenir à l’état non aplati ; les calques sont définitivement fusionnés."

agree Tony M : This is what I'm used to seeing in e.g. Photoshop

Thanks Tony
agree Daryo : the only problem: "aplati" relates to the whole new file while " flattened into" relates to the edits, not the final file, so a rewording of the sentence would be needed.

When you flatten a file, you are integrating all the layers it contains into a single, inseparable unit. So, "aplati" relates to both the edits and the final file. The process can be repeated, but cannot be undone, so it's safer to save it as a new file.
disagree GILLES MEUNIER : pas le même contexte, on parle d'une image aplatie dans vos liens

It doesn't matter whether it's an image or text. If I insert a text box on a construction drawing or other pdf, it's a layer and I then flatten the file so added layers become an integral part of the pdf file.
disagree Nicolas Gambardella : I do not think this is the same thing. The different elements are not on the same level. This is a hierarchy that is transformed into a structure on a single level. The layers in photoshop are all on the same level, and the result is too.

No, if the layers in the pdf or photo being edited were on the same level, that would be a mess. You must have some brought forward and some sent back. When flattened, only the front information is retained and there there is only a single layer.

Normalement, "flattened" est utilisé pour dire que l'on "aplati" une structure hierarchique. Par exemple, si l'on a un livre fait de plusieurs chapitres, chacun dans un fichier appelé depuis un fichier maître, on "flatten" l'ouvrage en un seul fichier. Pareil pour un site web avec des iframes, etc. Ici, nous avons un texte principal, et des annotations qui sont probablement des commentaires en marge ?

Dans ce contexte, je pense que le verbe insérer est le plus approprié.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : I don't think that accurately reflects the process (inextricably "fixed" into the text); possibly closer would be 'intégré'?

Could be a good alternative, indeed
disagree Daryo : yes, but there is an additional "nuance": there will be no indications where are the modifications *as opposed to* you add edits (they are "inserted") BUT also mark them so you can see where they are - then the text would not qualify as "flattened text"!
