Nancy ,
I just tried with Firefox 112.0.2 (first attempt was Safari 16.4) and saw the same result. All text is removed at the point of document ingest.
I've got one more free document this month; Anything else I can try? 😆

Hey JADAstudio, thanks for keeping us in the loop on this.
May we reach out via email to have a further look internally at this point?

I am having this SAME PROBLEM and it is incredibly frustrating. I had been using HelloSign for years without any issue, and then DropboxSign the last few months, and about 2 weeks ago, started having this problem. The colors, boxes, lines, logos, etc. all appear, but all the text in my file are gone. It doesn't happen with every file, just the files I'm saving as / printing to PDF from Microsoft Excel to PDF. I open the PDF itself and everything is there, but when I upload to Dropbox Sign, all the text is gone.

Same problem here! All text in my PDF goes missing. It used to work seamlessly - now I can't use the app anymore. All help appreciated!
