Newbie8 I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:

  • the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
  • the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
  • the full text of any error or unexpected output

I am using the Dropbox API V2 SDK for Javascript:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/tree/4f78b01326afdba5c4198fd092cd74e3e79095f8 

And I am using the example code they provided which is this one:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/4f78b01326afdba5c4198fd092cd74e3e79095f8/examples/typescript/upload/upload.ts 
It works for normal pdfs and other files however it doesn't work with pdfs with fields for user to fill in
