Hi Wr1terTyp3, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

Are you referring to the comments on the Dropbox site, or comments added into the PDF itself?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay,

 

Thank you for your response!

 

The comments are those within the document. My colleague made several edits to a .PDF, but his document edits/comments are not downloading with the document.

    If the comments are within the PDF and saved, then provided they are included as part of the PDF file itself, then the comments should be downloaded.

     

    Is the PDF shared with edit permissions to those other users? 

     

    How exactly are you trying to download the file where you only get PNG or JPG? A screenshot of this would help greatly!
