Replace a file and maintain the original view link
I'm trying to replace a pdf file with an updated pdf file AND keep the original link to view it. Is this possible? If so, how do I accomplish this?

You need to overwrite the existing file without deleting the original first. As long as the original isn't deleted, the link will remain the same.
Note that some applications don't overwrite files when saving. They first delete the original file and then save a new copy with the same name. This is done seamlessly to the user, but it's enough that it can break the link if Dropbox syncs the deletion before the new file is saved.
