I have some .pdf files on dropbox that are publicly shared. Is there a way to disable the download option so that they are only viewable on dropbox, but not downloadable to one's desktop?

This is pretty easy. Simply check the check box next to the folder(s) you want to download and then go to
More Actions > Download Folder
You can also do this to download multiple files within a folder. Check all the items you want to download and then go to
More Actions > Download Items
In the web interface click repeatedly the second column header, i.e. Type until it shows Size - then you will see the size of all the items in the current folder.
Update:
In the latest version it is now a drop-down that you can click and select Size.

No, that's not possible.
(Also it makes little sense to disable downloads, if they can view on Dropbox, it's trivial to save it)
