I'm asked to request a license from my admin to edit the text in a PDF file.

I have Dropbox Plus, and I tried to edit a file. It says to go to the admin console to update the license, but I cannot find the admin console, and it won't let me edit the document.

so when I open the doc and click edit, it highlights areas, I click on one and this comes up.  I'm the only owner of this account.

    I suspect its because you are on Dropbox Plus if I am honest.

    The ability edit PDF's requires Professional, Essentials or higher: https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/edit-pdf
