or [SumatraPDF.exe bake](Tools.md)

**Available in [pre-release 3.7](https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/prerelease)**

**Usage:** `sumatrapdf-tool bake [options] input.pdf [output.pdf]`

The PDF format has annotations and widgets (used in forms) as special kinds of objects.

`bake` is an advanced tool that converts annotations and widgets into regular, static PDF content.

By default it bakes both annotations and form fields into the page content. Use `-A` to keep annotations as annotations (don't bake them) and `-F` to keep form fields interactive.

If you don't specify an output file, it writes to `out.pdf`.

## All options

```
Usage: SumatraPDF bake [options] input.pdf [output.pdf]
  -A      keep annotations
  -F      keep forms
  -O -    comma separated list of output options
