Dropbox Fax preview removes form layout after sending (only filled text visible)
Hi, I noticed a strange issue with Dropbox Fax preview when sending a PDF form. I uploaded a filled IRS form. The original PDF displays correctly in Adobe Acrobat, Edge, and Chrome, including all table lines, labels, and layout. When I upload the document to Dropbox Fax, the preview looks completely normal. The form layout, table lines, and labels are all visible. However, after the fax is sent and I view the document again in the "Sent" preview, most of the form layout disappears and only the text fields I filled remain visible. It looks like the background form layer or table lines are not rendered anymore. Additional details: - The original PDF renders correctly in Acrobat and browsers. - The preview before sending looks correct. - The issue only appears in the preview after the fax is sent. - I also tried flattening the PDF before uploading, but the sent preview still shows the same behavior. - If I download the document from the preview and open it locally, the layout appears normal again. My question is: does the fax transmission use the original PDF rendering, or does it rely on the preview rendering shown after sending? I just want to confirm whether the recipient will receive the full document layout (tables and labels), or if they will only see the text fields. Thanks!
I get an error 'File may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesnât recognise'
When I click on some of my high res photo files saved on drop box (our wedding photos!!), a sign pops ups saying 'couldn't load. something went wrong our end'. When I try and download the photo, it says 'could not open'. 'File may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesnât recognise'. Can anyone help with this? This impacts hundreds of wedding pictures and it would be such a shame to loose these!
The audio transcription on Dropbox can't find explicit language in songs.
Hi I wonder if someone could help. Has the AI modelling changed for this feature? I use this feature most days to transcribe vocals in music featured in radio shows. Was really useful for finding expletive language and so on. Now it seems like the only vocals you are able to transcribe from a one hour radio show is the presenters vocal links. Not the music in between. Hope you can help.
Unread Comments
Request to re-add the unread comments filter to the preview window (where the starred tab is). Manually sorting through every image to find client feedback is time-consuming. Reinstating this button would significantly streamline the review process by isolating images that require immediate attention.When opening LibreOffice my files give me an error, and fail to download.
Integration Affected LibreOffice Device Fujitu desktop Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) I'm uing the desktop version. Question or Issue I had to have a change of computer as my other one died. My other computer ran on Linuz, but my replacement one uses Windows 11 and Firefox. I have LibreOffice installed on this computer. I logged into Dropcox and tried to open my spreadsheet in LibreOffice Calc, but it failed to download and showed an error meaage.
We want to open shared links directly on the desktop app and not the website.
Hi there. Love Dropbox. I moved our whole team to it from Google Drive much to all of our delight. The one hiccup that keeps coming up (was also an issue with Drive, but would be a game changing new feature from DB) is sharing links. Our team uses the desktop app to work with files directly in finder, but we share links to files and folders on slack and in email, etc... Right now we click a link, it opens the browser as expected, we find the file path in browser and then follow that path in finder. That seems like an awful lot of work when we have a direct connection between our finder and dropbox in the app. Perhaps the website could provide a link that connects to the desktop app, opening the folder/file in finder or windows explorer. Seems like a reasonable option to me, but what do others think?
