Email pdf vs sending a link
I want to email a pdf from drop box. It sends a link rather than sending the pdf. The corporation I am sending to will not let them open the link. How do I send the file rather than sending a link...

You cant send direct from Dropbox.
You need to download it first
- 9 years agoExcept if you read the thread you'd see it wasnt a Dropbox restriction but an Apple one - and one that was changed over a year ago so it is possible to now do.

So now I save it to ...

-Open Adobe
-Find PDF in Dropbox via Adobe
-Sign, date add notes (whatever)
-Save it
-Select Share and as Ebuyer stated choose âFlattenâ
-Email as as an attachment!
Awesome and thank you Ebuyer!
