Ever wondered how much convenient it would be if you could just view this nice powerpoint file your friend emailed you last night without the need of a third party desktop software (i.e. Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, etc.) Well, last year Google introduced the “View” link in Gmail attachments, which allowed you to view online PDF files that you had received with Gmail. They also added support for viewing PowerPoint and TIFF files. Two days ago Google opened this technology to all webmasters and blog owners with the Google Docs viewer.
Google Docs Viewer, lets you view any PDF document, PowerPoint presentation or TIFF file without leaving your browser. All you need to do is go to Google Docs viewer, enter the document URL, and click on the “Generate link” button. After that, you will get something like the following.
What’s next Google? :)
