I downloaded the extension, but when I try to edit a pdf from within box, it makes me download the file, then when I try to save the file, it saves it to my computer, not box. 

I watched the youtube video and I don't even have an edit option, a blue button, like in the video. 

So I don't know what to do. Can I not edit pdfs within box?

    Sorry, I should have said: I'm writing on a brand new mac laptop. MacOS Mojave.

    I also just updated my computer, and I still can't.

    Hi Drake,

    Where you able to figure out this? Can we edit PDFs within Box?

    No, I never figured it out and I don't even know if it's possible. I hope it is possible, but I don't know how to do it...

    This video shows you how to edit with a pptx file but not a PDF...
