Hi our IT guy found that Xodo nearly worked for us but we need to be able to sign the edited documents which we couldnt do, Yes we have tried uninstalling/reinstalling updating etc in fact we have tried everything we can think of and it is costing us time and money to try solve this issue - Not impressed.

Obviously, Dropbox are unable or unwilling to cope with this issue. They try to conceal it from the public by using mail instead of this open forum. They mail you that the problem was solved, but this is not true, and when you try to write back to them, you get a delivery error message. What a shame.

I'm still stuck too, and I find this email communication odd as well.
To their credit though, it seems the issue is related to Acrobat as well, so I think Adobe at least share the blame.
Xodo seems to work, but I find Acrobat better. Also, it seems that the edits I made in Acrobat are not visible when I load the PDF in Xodo.
