I've read through the comments. It doesn't appear this issue has been solved. I passed a pdf to a client the other day. Not good that the file is blurry and not legible. What's happening with troubleshooting this Dropbox? Please advise.

Not the issue. Zooming is still blurry.
All is good if you download it.The point is that people you want people who do not have PDF viewers

I'm having the same issue and definitely need a fix. We use Dropbox for everything and would need to switch if this issue is not solved. I had a file that was 1.5 mb but long and illegibly blurry.

Is the preview coming up blurry regardless of the browser you use?
How about when you download the file locally and open it with a third party app?
