I have not been able to successfully flatten a document without affecting t=
he formatting of the field.
There are some example codes out there but none of them work correctly for =
me.

Hi Kevin
None of these field values will need to be changed afterward the merge.  Th=
ey are set to read-only.

field annotation for the field value formatting and this is not to be chang=
ed.

when a field is flattened correctly the formatting of the annotations visua=
lly representing the field become part of the page content stream. So if yo=
u don't need the fields at all - as there is no further input - you could f=
latten the source documents prior to merging them.
