How can I edit a pdf file in Dropbox?

How can i edit a file on dropbox

  • You need to open the file in an application that is capable of editing that particular file type. For PDF, that would usually be Adobe Acrobat or a third-party PDF editor.

    Bonjour, j'ai eu des problèmes de synchronisation sur des documents PDF (appoli EZPDF) sur des documents dans ma dropbox.
    Voici comment j'ai résolu mon problème : 

    De mon ordi, je fais comme avant, ouverture avec adobe reader, enregistrement et je retrouve mes documents sur ma tablette androïd.
    de la tablette androïd, (à partir de l'ordi, tablette connectée en usbb, je prends la précaution avant tout, de copier tous mes fichiers de ma dropbox , dans mes fichiers, emulated, 0, androïd, data, com.dropbox.androïd, files, u349393140, scratch); puis j'ouvre ezpdf (et non plus dropbox comme avant), l'onglet "all pdf", où se trouvent tous mes documents. J'ouvre, je modifie, et je ferme tout simplement. Lors de la prochaine connexion en wifi, le document se synchronisera tout seul.

    Si ça peut servir à quelqu'un, c'est posté!

      I used to use "Foxit", but now is not opening pdf files, neither synchronizing pdf files. Is there any free app to edit pdf files in Dropbox?
