Hi yvettescott, thanks for messaging today!

 

Before you upload the file, is it already a PDF file, or was it another type of document?

 

PDF files can be edited using one of the extensions on the Dropbox site directly, if you're referring to editing files online.

 

Let me know more so that I can assist further!

Hello Jay,

 

Yes, it is already a pdf file but has fillable fields.  I need it to remain with fillable fields.  Dropbox converts it to a pdf without fillable fields when I upload it.  It is a Plaintiff Fact Sheet for United States District Court and I need the clients to fill out the fillable fields and return it.  I would appreciate any and all help with this form.  Thank you!
