No. Flattening PDFs means to "burn in" comments and the contents of form fields from editable to page content.

The only way to "protect" contents from editing are the password settings. There are free tools to set them, but AFAIK no open source tools except maybe libraries.
There’s also pdfcrack to find out passwords.
> Is there maybe even a way to flatten only specific objects like, only one picture of many or all, and leave form fields unflattened?
Not at all.
Greetlings, Hraban
