Hi Team,
The dropbox feature Create New > Scan Document > Generate PDF has been a godsend for converting personal and business paper documents over to digital.
I am constantly running into the task of requiring to change or ADD a page into the existing PDF's generated by Dropbox. (e.g. approvals come in via mail or want to attach invoice and receipts to close off a project-QuoteToCash)
So far the only solution has been to delete the file and start from scratch scanning (photographing) every page OR creating a second Dropbox PDF of the delta paper changes then opening up the PDF in an editor and swapping/deleting pages around.
Since Dropbox has already built the toolset to scan documents and sort/add pages within - is it possible to build this functionality back into the "Edit" PDF screen with only options to add signature, text and dates? Strictly at the "whole page level" within PDF.
Ideal user workflow:
1. Create New > Scan Document > Rename > Generate PDF
2. Days later...Open PDF in Dropbox Mobile > Edit
3. *new button* "Reorganise PDF pages" > brings up "scan document" view of page layout (mobile UI - edit/arrange tabs, add page, crop page boundaries, rotate image)
4. Move existing pages around, delete or add
5. Select add page > take photo > default to end of document
6. Re-sort pages > Optional Rename
7. Save with version control to existing PDF (regenerated with new page order/additional or removed pages)
8. 4 weeks later...Repeat steps 2>7 etc.
Main benefit is that I would be able to do it all on mobile, I wouldn't leave the Dropbox app removing file management overheads and merging PDF's in third party tools.
