I was able to use an app Xodo and it seems to work just fine for me. I will use this for the time being until this bug gets worked out.

I have just spent over an hour trying to find a solution with Adobe on their webchat all they want to do is sell Acrobat pro DC which only works on a desktop so no use to us
I asked them - What product can I use on my tablet to edit, sign and save pdf documents in dropbox
They replied - I am not sure, because we are from Acrobat team and we can only guide you with the Acrobat application, but I would like to inform you that Acrobat pro dc is a desktop application, however you can use Reader dc to open and view files.
Ratan Das: I am really sorry, I am from technical support team and we used to handle all the queries related to Acrobat and its features.
you: can you tell me why acrobat no longer works as it did on Android
Ratan Das: I would be glad to transfer you with other team, if there is such team available, but we are the technical team, who used to take care of technical issue.
you: If you are the technical team do you not have any knowledge of the android applications
Ratan Das: Because it is a desktop application, and it never worked on Android or on Ipad, however you can use Reader dc, but using that application you can only open and view files.
Ratan Das: I am really sorry, we only supports desktop applications.
you: I understand that, but Adobe Acrobat was doing this until last week it is not the DC version
Ratan Das: I am really sorry, you might be using the different application, but Acrobat pro dc is a desktop application.
