PDF viewing in Gmail
March 04, 2009Posted by: Matt
As of today Gmail now allows the viewing, in lieu of downloading, of PDF files in you inbox.
Say, for example, you need to approve an add for your company, or perhaps look at a bill in order to make a credit card payment. If you have no need, and in truth, no desire, to download the file. Simply view it!
This can also be hugely helpful if you are at a hotel or resort and are using their less than wonderful computer lab. First, you wouldn't want to download the file for security reasons. Second, those computers are like rental cars, there is no telling what they have been through to give them that funny feel. They may very well not handle the PDF. Viewing is a safe and effective alternative.
Just another user friendly add for Gmail.
