Re: Upload PDF files/proper encoding
I need help on this too
I am using the Dropbox API V2 SDK for Javascript:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/tree/4f78b01326afdba5c4198fd092cd74e3e79095f8
And I am using the example code they provided which is this one:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/4f78b01326afdba5c4198fd092cd74e3e79095f8/examples/typescript/upload/upload.ts
It works for normal pdfs and other files however it doesn't work with pdfs with fields for user to fill in
Example pdf file:

Dropbox Community ModeratorCan you elaborate on what you mean when you say "it doesn't work"? Are you referring to elements not being rendered properly as seen in that screenshot? If so, what application are you using to render that PDF? The process of uploading files to Dropbox is separate from how you then view those files.
For reference, the Dropbox API will accept and commit whatever bytes you upload, e.g., using the filesUpload method, regardless of file type. It doesn't modify or re-encode the bytes you supply, so make sure you're supplying the exact unmodified bytes that you want uploaded to Dropbox. Exactly how any particular PDF data is rendered depends on the application you use to render it.
