With the latest iPad update I appear to have lost the ability to export PDF files to notability, which has been a key element of my workflow. When I start with a PDF file and choose export as I have ...

    The workaround, provided by DropBox TS, is 

     

    1) pick a file in DropBox

    2) choose Export

    3) instread of picking Notability in the upper row, pick Open In... in the lower row

    4) once in there, pick Notability. 

     

    Works for me

Jane why can that information not be posted here to help other people though? 

 

It isnt an account specific issue. 

 

Surly taking things like this to email totally and utterly defeats the whole point of this being a Community Forum as there is no Community in private 1:1 emails.... :(

    I'm having this issue as well.  Can you post the fix?  I've always been able to export a Note to my Dropbox but, all of a sudden, I can no longer export from my ipads or iphone.  Please help!

        Ah, I misread  I'm having the opposite problem.  When I'm in Notability, I try to export a note into Dropbox and it no longer gives me the option to do so.
