    Hi there, if there’s password protection on the zip file, the Dropbox site or app won’t be able to open the file in question.

    Hope this clarifies matters!

    To expand further on Jay's reply, you'll need to download the PDF file to your computer or mobile device and open it in a stand-alone PDF application.
