Dropbox Sign: all text in PDF goes missing
So I decided to try Dropbox Sign. I created a PDF with a bunch of text, a raster logo, and a few signature lines. However, in the Dropbox Sign field editor, all of the text is gone; Only the raster l...
I feel frustrated with the dropbox sign recent releases as well. These are not enhancement but drawbacks.
Here is my view.....
- Dropbox sign is for SIGNING. I might be help with some simplest text inserting just incase if the PDF miss a word or so but primarily it is for SIGNING.
- Any FREE PDF editor already have much more robust PDF editing capability that Dropbox sign can ever reach.
- Dropbox sign's effort of including PDF editing feature is taking a good signing experience away and introduce more errors that is not necessary. As the EXPECTATION is set wrong. Dropbox sign should not be regarded as for PDF editing more than insert a word capability.
- Dropbox sign used to be supper straight forward and RELIABLE. That is what users are looking for. Because user knows if they want edit PDF, they can always go to Adobe and other free editor to do a much better job.
It is a wrong direction to develop further feature of editing and make the reliable signing experience become bad.
A perfect SIGNING experience is user looking for, not a PDF editing experience.
