Super User III assume this is when trying to open via Dropbox app?

What happens if you try and open it via say an email?
Yes, In the DropBox app (Android) I cannot view the pdf as the password entry box once clicked in, only flashes the keyboard.
I emailed it to my self and was able to enter the password on my PC - which opened the dropbox site to allow me to open the do c.
On my phone however, when opening the email, I was given a choice of using Chrome or Dropbox to open the link. I chose Chrome and dropbox gave me the message to download the dropbox app- - Chrome would not do the same on Android as it did on Windows, Again I have the dropbox app, so I then chose the Dropbox app to open the file and - I cannot enter a password, unless I could type it within about 1/2 second that the keyboard is visible.
Thanks - Rick
