I have many pdf files that need to be flattened. Is there anyway to flatten all of these files in one time?

You can try the Action Wizard in Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Can you provide a step by step.

I see how I can flatten one document.  I can't figure how to flatten several documents at a time.

Preferably, I could flatten as I am combing files - but that may be asking for too much

Create an Action that executes the following JS code and then saves the file:

this.flattenPages();

Yes, I have your suggestion working in a Windows environment, but when I attempt to use the form with this command on an Android device it does not flatten the file. I am attempting to create a form that can be used on an Android device where the document is flattened before transmission and is not editable after it is emailed. Thoughts? Suggestions?

There isn't really a way to do that on a mobile device, I'm afraid. Certainly not by flattening.
