It can be scraped off. My sister did that with her ceiling, but the results weren't good. The drywall sucked up paint unevenly, and multiple coats of paint didn't fix the problem. Maybe this wouldn't have happened with a better primer. I understand the best way is to apply a skim coat of topping compound over the scraped drywall, but obviously that's a lot of work.
I've seen popcorn flattened out. I think it's done by wetting it, then dragging a drywall taping knife over the surface.
Another solution is to put a layer of 1/4 or 3/8 inch drywall over the old ceiling. We just had this done in a room of our house, and it looks great. However, we were having other drywall work done so it wasn't that much more work to put in new drywall.
