A little off Topic - PDF Support for Google Docs

For years now our group has been using Google Docs to keep track of documents, but my one complaint has been no PDF support. While I'm not the biggest fan of Adobe, PDFs are a natural part of business.

  1. Anytime a document is sent to the outside world, it is converted to PDF.
  2. All of purchased research comes as PDF

Hunting for 3rd party solutions to support this has really limited Google Docs usefulness, until now. Yesterday Google added PDF support for Google Docs. You can now store, share and view PDFs from with their system. (The viewing application looks a lot like what is used for google patent search)

 While you can't yet edit PDFs, this is a much needed an appreciated addition to the google docs suite.
