flattening/locking PDFs

[carolynj44387136]

Is there a way to flatten PDFs in Acrobat DC? I need to be able to lock all the items (boxes, stamps, etc) I have created on a PDF while allowing other people to mark up the PDF and add their own items. I tried password protecting and encrypting, but it doesn't allow people to make changes to the document.
