When I try to edit PDFs it asks for a signature. No signature should be required.

Hi, I have editing privileges and can edit word.docx but not PDFs. When I try to edit PDFs it asks for a signature. In fact, my editing privileges are supposed to be unrestricted. No signature should be required.

I would appreciate some help on this point.

Kind regards,

    Hi

     

    If its asking for a signature it sounds like its been sent via Dropbox Sign and so that would be correct.

     

    PDF editing is only available with certain things (i.e. add text boxes etc.) and that should be the same as opening any files like Word etc.
