Google Docs now supports PDFs

image Google finally gave way to massive requests for PDF support to be added to Google Docs. There were a number of users who felt that this was a sorely missing feature in Google’s offering. I guess you don’t have much of a choice if you get comments such as this one asking you to give this feature:

"If you’re listening O Great Google Demi-Gods, we supplicate
thee for PDF storage!!"

While this is a welcome feature, it is still far away from being a full-fledged module of Google Office. Currently, you can do the following:

  • Upload a PDF
  • Preview a PDF
  • Share a PDF

What you can’t do:

  • Edit a PDF

I like the fact that I am able to upload and preview it. That is good enough for me for now. However, a lot of people want PDF to be a first class citizen like Spreadsheet, Doc, and Presentation.
