Hey there jdserwer - how are you today? 

Out of curiosity, does this persist on other browsers and/or an incognito window?

Note that the Dropbox website does not have online editing capabilities. It will only show you a preview of your files (as they look like when they're uploaded in their original form - they won't be able to keep their preview settings made within a 3rd party app like Adobe Acrobat). 

In order to edit a file (so as these changes are then reflected on its preview as well) you will have to open it locally on your computer (and use the appropriate 3rd party software like Adobe Acrobat to do this). In the preview, you should see an “Open” button which will allow you to do so: https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/desktop-web/open-button

I hope this helps to some extent and please let me know if I'm missing something here.
