Re: I can't click notes!

I can't click on the notes I've created for my PDF.

Hi, in a PDF, I added some notes on some words, which I can't see in the DropBox application when I click on them, this applies to both Ipad and Iphone. The icon of the note that has been taken appears, but I cannot click it in any way. Is this normal behavior?

Hey @Riccardo3! Thanks for your post. 

 

How did you add these notes to your PDF file exactly? Do you mean that you created a Dropbox comment perhaps for each word? 

 

Can you send me a full screenshot of what you see on your Dropbox app(s)?

 

Keep me in the loop.

I used the PDF expert application, I selected a word and right-clicked note, and added some text. Then I saved the file and synced it, like all files on DropBox. If I try to open it from my phone or iPad, the notes on DropBox cannot be viewed.

Thanks for the clarification. In this case, this sounds like expected behavior since the notes were created within the third-party app. 

 

Do you have the same program/app to open the PDF on your mobile device? If yes, can you see the notes there?

Hi, I didn't create the notes from the DropBox application, I used a PDF application, specifically PDF expert. I thought you could view them by clicking on them from Dropbox, but unfortunately not
