Google adds a PDF viewer to Gmail
Posted on: 15 December, 2008
Soon after Tasks and SMSes, Gmail has just added a its own viewer that lets you view PDFs in your Web browser. It’s blazing fast, and it does include a search function, and lets you download or print the PDF if you really need to.
There are two other benefits to this, the first being the updated page view which lets you hop around the document a whole lot faster. The other is the built-in zoom, which scales the text to fit your monitor with a higher degree of detail than the text resizer found in your browser.
However before you try it out yourself you need to know the new PDF viewer doesn’t seem to work in Firefox, but works just fine in Chrome. Is this the beginning of a pattern of Google not playing nice with Mozilla?
