Keep your eyes peeled for this new Google Search feature. If your result pulls up a PDF file, then look for the “Quick View” link – that’ll open up the PDF doc as a Google Docs document which previews the PDF nicely without you having to download it and open it up in your computer’s PDF viewer. Great improvement over the HTML view of PDFs.
Got it? Confusing. Just try it – here’s an example: IRS Form 1099. Strangely not all PDF results get this treatment. Yet, I hope.
this is a great feature and allows the content of our companies pdf brochures to be found in google search.
This is indeed a huge improvement! No waiting for the PDF to download.
