I can't edit my original text in PDF files, even though I'm on the Plus plan.

I finally bit the bullet to upgrade to the Plus Plan primarily for pdf editing capability. When I tried my first  pdf edit, I as so disappointed to find that this plan does not allow for editing of original text! As I read the Features web page regarding pdf editing, I saw "With Dropbox plans, you can make in-line text edits that automatically match the original document's font family, size, and styling" and thought that a paid Plus plan would do the trick. Is there any intention to enhance the Plus Plan pdf editing capabilities? Not sure if I need this plan with current limitations.

    Hey STAfan! Thanks for posting on our forum today. 

    If you wish to edit existing text in your PDF files, then you’ll need to be on one of the following plans: Dropbox Essentials, Business, Business Plus, or Enterprise (please note that Business Plus and Plus aren’t the same plan - Business Plus is for Dropbox teams, while Plus is an individual subscription, like Essentials).

    Let me know if I’ve misunderstood something, though.
