PDF files open as read only on Acrobat Reader (on Android)
I haven't had any problem editing PDF files on my Android tablet until now. I simply opened dropbox, and opened the PDF in Adobe Acrobat from dropbox.
Lately, when I open a PDF in Adobe Acrobat fro...
I was able to use an app Xodo and it seems to work just fine for me. I will use this for the time being until this bug gets worked out.
We have had an IT guy looking at it for nearly 2 days and we just cant solve the problem we have 5 Android tablets not working, we are trying to find an alternative instead of Adobe as it looks like their updates have caused the glitch, surely dropbox and adobe should sort this out between them and not let it affect their paying business customers.

Hi our IT guy found that Xodo nearly worked for us but we need to be able to sign the edited documents which we couldnt do, Yes we have tried uninstalling/reinstalling updating etc in fact we have tried everything we can think of and it is costing us time and money to try solve this issue - Not impressed.
Obviously, Dropbox are unable or unwilling to cope with this issue. They try to conceal it from the public by using mail instead of this open forum. They mail you that the problem was solved, but this is not true, and when you try to write back to them, you get a delivery error message. What a shame.
IF they come back to me with a solution I will post it on here - it is so fustrating I am now trying to see if an iPad has the same problem.
I'm still stuck too, and I find this email communication odd as well.
To their credit though, it seems the issue is related to Acrobat as well, so I think Adobe at least share the blame.
Xodo seems to work, but I find Acrobat better. Also, it seems that the edits I made in Acrobat are not visible when I load the PDF in Xodo.
