One of the most often asked questions is: “How do I open a ______ (fill in the blank) file?” different kinds of documents. By default, most browsers can’t open files like pdf, odp, doc, ppt, odt, rtf (and many others). So you have to download them and open them with Adobe Reader, Microsoft Office, Open Office, etc.,<\/p>\n
With a browser extension called gPDF you can open virtually any document type without downloading it and without installing Office, Adobe, or anything else. gPDF is a browser extension that combine Zoho Viewer and Google Docs Viewer and lets you view almost any kind of document right in your web browser.<\/p>\n
gPDF works by linking to RTF, ODT, ODS, ODP, CSV files and opening them with Zoho Viewer. gPDF cerates links to PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT & PPTX files and opens with Google Docs. It means that you no longer need to install separate programs like Adobe Reader, Open Office, Microsoft Office, et. al. to view these kinds of documents.<\/p>\n
gPDF is safe to use because it connects to Google Docs Viewer and Zoho Viewer through a secure HTTPS connection, so you don’t have to worry about exploits — like the kind that have dogged Adobe for so long.<\/p>\n
Documents open very fast too, there’s no downloading documents to your computer. If you have a Google Docs account (and you do if you have Gmail account) or a Zoho account, you’ll be able to edit and save the documents too.<\/p>\n
So you don’t have to worry anymore about how to open that document. You don’t have to worry about installing a huge office program. Now you can open virtually any Office document or PDF file right from your browser with the gPDF extension.<\/p>\n
