PDF Preview functionality - how to disable?
I really, really dislike the Dropbox PDF preview functionality. It served my needs much better to have the PDF I click on in Dropbox open directly in Acrobat Reader. Is there a way to switch the PDF ...

I made this account simply to express how deeply I loath the fact that I now cannot use my public directory to link PDFs to my website without Dropbox forcing itself into the process. Your customers deserve the choice to turn it off. I really like dropbox - but they are going to lose me as a customer pretty soon.
----UPDATE-----
I wanted to give credit where credit is due. When Dropbox first started adding it's own viewer to the process - it was really discouraging because I had built my website for my research around it's previous simplier (frankly less intrusive) approach. BUT! Dropbox did fix it ( a while ago too) and I am happy I was able to stay with the service. the dl=0 vs dl=1 option at the end of the links makes it feasible for me to continue to use dropbox to distribute information to collegues and now allowed me to use PDFs in my personal research more easily.
Cheers Dropbox and thanks for the fix.
