The "signature" function in the app on my iPad isn't working, any ideas?
The 'signature' function on my dropbox isnt working any longer. When I click it, it returns my ipad to the homepage. What settings do I need to change? Will I have my saved signatures disappear?
- 6 years agoHi Dropbox, this mornings update on the app has resolved the signature issue for my ipad. I can now continue with work and signature electronically. Appreciate your input and help. Thanks ever so much

Same issue! Just started happening. Latest version of Dropbox, iOS 13.1, iPad Pro Model MU1D2LL/A2013. Re-started iPad, re-started Dropbox, tried multiple PDFs, blah blah blah no difference.

I'm also having the same issue: DropBox crashes when I attempt to sign a PDF document. This happens consistently for all PDF documents that I've tried. If I uninstall Dropbox and re-install, then the first time I sign a document (where it prompts me to actually draw my signature) it works, but any time I attempt to use an existing signature, it crashes. Very frustrating, and I hope this gets fixed soon.
Dropbox 162.2 on iPad MR7G2LL/A running iOS 13.1.2.

Hi SteveC4872, welcome to the Dropbox Community!
Could you also confirm for me if you've tried clearing your cache by any chance?
Thanks in advance!

I have not previously explicitly cleared the cache. But I have uninstalled Dropbox and re-installed multiple times.
I just now tried clearing the cache. It did not make a difference: it still crashes once I click the pen icon (after opening the PDF, and choosing "Add text or signature").
