Every PDF Viewer/editor just tells me that the file is corrupted and can’t be opened. The PDF you were built into the dropbox client on android and an iOS is the same thing.

Hey PastaShock​, let me jump in here! 

I'd love to have a visual of what you described. Can you kindly send me a few step-by-step screenshots demonstrating the steps you follow in order to edit the file, and also the error you get when trying to open it? Just make sure no personal info is shown there. 

Does this happen with all of your PDF files or just some of them?
