Flattening is when a PDF is converted into, some or all vectors are 
converted to pixels. The more complex the vectors, the more difficult 
it is for less advanced printers/RIPS to process the postscript.

In Acrobat 6+ there is a flattening previewer which can adjust the 
amount of flattening.

The above greatly oversimplified, but hopefully explains the idea.
