Document with fillable fields
Hello, I have uploaded a document to Dropbox. It is a document with fillable fields. When I upload it to dropbox, it converts it to a pdf. I need the form to remain as a document with fillable fields...

Dropbox Community ModeratorCan you let me know if you're trying to edit the file through the website, using an integration yvettescott?
Or are the fields not available after the file is downloaded from Dropbox? In this case, please let me know which app you're using to open the file.
Daphne and Jay,
I am not editing the file over a shared link. I am not trying to edit the file through the website. When I uplaod the file, it is stripping the fillable forms. Is there a way for me to send the form to you?

Which app are you using to try and edit the file, yvettescott?
The reason I'm wondering this is that you'll need Adobe Reader 8 or later to be able to fill in the form, as outlined here.
The settings of the file shouldn't be affected when uploading/downloading in Dropbox, so this info will be very useful to know in order for us to find the root cause.
If you'd like to, you can send a shared link to the file. Please just bear in mind though, that this shouldn't contain any personal info, as this is a public forum.
Cheers!
I am not trying to edit the file. I am trying to upload it to Active Campaign to send out to clients and for them to return it in a secure format. Is there an email that I can send it to?
Hello Daphne,
Sorry for the delay. Please see the link below to the form:
