My PDF additions in preview mode (via the macOS desktop app) don't appear on the web.
I am running MacOS Tahoe 26.1 on a MacBook Pro
For work, I often use the preview function in finder to type directly onto a PDF. I thought this was going fine -- the edits are saved and viewable in...
Hi! I found a workaround. If the edits aren't showing up in the dropbox browser version, I export the pdf as PDF-A and keep the file name and replace the original. Then it shows up normally.

First off, can you clarify how exactly you type onto your PDFs in Finder? Can you perhaps send me a screenshot to have a visual? I’d also like one more screenshot of the same PDF file, as it appears on your Dropbox web account.
Other than that, when saying that other people can see those updates on their end, do you mean that they’re also using the Dropbox desktop app and your edits sync locally to their computers?
Let me know more info, and we’ll go from there.
