How to flatten a PDF file?

Is there a way to iron out the headers and footers AND annotations , in a PDF file?  I know that you can print to the Adobe PDF format, which will flatten the document, but this method also removes the links and bookmarks, so that it is not always an option.  I know also there is a preflight function that will flatten the fields annotions, and shape, but I also need headers and thus flattened feet.  Anyone know of a way to do this?

Headers/footers are added in the form of content to a layer (BCG), but it is not normally available for manipulation by tools in the layers pane. In addition to the fields and flattening comment annotations, preflight can flatten layers, so you can do what you want with preflight.
