Give users the option to NOT have PDFs flattened (so links in documents stay active / clickable)
I noticed with great surprise that Dropbox Sign would not only by default flatten PDFs where links were previously added, there is also no option to reverse/enable this. So that links would open in a...

Dropbox Community ModeratorClickable links which do stay clickable when the signer opens your request are indeed available to the Dropbox Sign Premium plan.
Just to make sure we got this right though, you'd like the links to stay automatically in the PDF (and not to add them manually)? Is this correct?
As for a free trial for the Dropbox Sign Premium plan (which comes with a minimum of 5 users), I'm afraid there's none at this time.
If you're still interested in upgrading your plan, you can reach out to our Sales team to get a custom quote.
I hope this helps easyandimpactful
Hi Walter - thank you, but I think you still do not understand me. What you refer to is the option below (please correct me if I am wrong, though!)
Clickable links are available on Premium plans.
To add a link in a document:
- Insert a textbox where you need to add the link.
- Click the dropdown under Assigned To in the right sidebar and select Me (Now).
- Enter the text you want to appear for your link, such as “Dropbox Sign”.
However, I do not want to add anything manually. I simply want to drag&drop the PDF with the links on it to the envelope, send it to my clients and done. Now I want the client to open the PDF in DropboxSign, be able to click on all the links to open them and if all is to their satisfaction, sign the document.
Can you please confirm that this works as well and if yes, could somebody in Sales hop on a call with me and show me that it really will work? Again, I am a bit surprised that I am shown this option above to add links manually once again, but I already explained several times that this (imo inefficient) solution would not work. It would take too much time for many links and it is prone to error as well.
Thank you very much for clarifying this once again!
