Jay, QPDF could be used for identifying whether a file contains forms or not. See

This code identifies PDFs with forms but does not actually flatten them. pdftopdf could use this and if a form is found pass the PDF through Ghostscript/Poppler/MuPDF to flatten it and after that do the usual QPDF treatment of pdftopdf.
