How were you storing it? I know in Dropbox you can favorite a file, then it will store locally, and it should open in the app-opener dialog, not default to the browser???

Unless you tried downloading it through the browser? Google Chrome and Firefox can both view PDF natively, now, so you'd have to specifically choose to "save as".

I believe several ereader apps can integrate directly with Dropbox, too. It should (again) locally store the file, and update when necessary, just like the desktop client.
