When you purchase clipart from TpT, most clipartists require you to “flatten” the clipart. This means you are taking a page with lots of pieces of clipart and text and combining them into one image that appears on the page. This is to prevent end-users from being able to copy and paste individual pieces of clipart.
Learning how to flatten a product is a big step in creating products for TpT.
A common method is to export each page as an individual picture and then recombine them as one document. This is a time-consuming process if done manually!
Instead, I take advantage of a native program to the mac called Automator to automate the process.
Here is an overview of flattening a document:
