I can't click on the notes I've created for my PDF.
Hi, in a PDF, I added some notes on some words, which I can't see in the DropBox application when I click on them, this applies to both Ipad and Iphone. The icon of the note that has been taken appears, but I cannot click it in any way. Is this normal behavior?

Hey Riccardo3! Thanks for your post.
How did you add these notes to your PDF file exactly? Do you mean that you created a Dropbox comment perhaps for each word?
Can you send me a full screenshot of what you see on your Dropbox app(s)?

I used the PDF expert application, I selected a word and right-clicked note, and added some text. Then I saved the file and synced it, like all files on DropBox. If I try to open it from my phone or iPad, the notes on DropBox cannot be viewed.
