Community ManagerHi Everybody,
Our Engineers were notified of this issue and have implemented a solution. Low Resolution PDFs should no longer appear blurry. Additionally, blurred PDFs should no longer display while loading. We will continue to monitor this situation and implement changes as needed.
Please let us know if you continue to experience this issue and we can pass it along!
Regards,

Mixed Results:
1. On desktop, using Chrome browser, all pdf's are now "readable", including the ones that were blurry, however, they still aren't perfectly "clear" in comparison to opening them in Adobe Reader. A bit fuzzy around the edges, but at least they can't be viewed and read for the time-being.
2. I also tried viewing files in Android Chrome mobile browser (not Dropbox app), and now ALL pdf's are completely blurry and unreadable vs previously only 8 files (multipage showing as 1 page). If I select mobile browser setting to display as "Desktop site," then they will re-render as readable, similar to on the desktop as described in point #1. Reverse is true when option de-selected, they become blurry again. This is not an obvious work-around for most people and still needs to be fixed.
