I have it set to View only. I have the folder set to View only. But when I share the link, the full PDF edit tools are avaiable and anyone can edit (or write all over) the PDF.
They can't edit your original, and no one else would be able to see their edits. It just allows them to edit and save a copy to their own Dropbox account, if they wish. View-only links allow download access as well, so this is no different from someone downloading (or saving) a copy for themselves, and editing it offline.
Needless to say, I'm testing this logged out and in an incognito browser.
You should see that you can't save the file unless you sign in, and if you do sign in with a different account, the only option is to save a copy to your own Dropbox.
