Hi there Jac711 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you please walk us through the exact steps you take to do this and clarify how you're sharing the file with the recipients in the first place?

We are using an Adobe PDF fillable form. We have used the form before and it worked fine. We need the fillable sections (some text boxes, check boxes , etc) to transfer in to the Dropbox format.
