Hi there,
I am having the same problem. I have tried opening these files from Dropbox online, from my local drive, and using different browsers. They won't open. Not all .pdfs, just certain ones. I also did an Adobe Repair, in case that was causing the problem.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? I would really like to make sure these documents are accessible. I have been scanning documents, then shredding, so I no longer have these documents.
thanks for any help!

Dropbox StaffHey bacarruth, thanks for posting and sorry to hear about this.
May I ask what is the size of the .pdf files that you're having trouble with? Are they within the previewing limit of 500 MB of the Dropbox website?
When you try to open these .pdf files, do they give you an error or nothing happens? If you see an error, feel free to send me a screenshot of it.
Other than the different browsers you used, can you also try using an incognito window as well?
Let me know how it goes!
