We all use Google Chrome nowadays as it is the fastest browser presently and offers many extensions to increase our productivity. Sometimes, situation comes when we came across docs or PDFs files in Google Chrome.
But it is very annoying to download the file first and then read it with our installed doc or PDF viewer. This is really time- consuming because sometimes we only want to read the document rather than keeping in our hard drive.
Anyways, there is Google Chrome Extension called Docs PDF/Power Point Viewer Extension that automatically opens Docs, PDFs, Power Point Presentations in Google Docs viewer without downloading the file.
Don’t forget to 
subscribe to our RSS-feed and 
follow us on Twitter for recent updates.
Let’s see how it works :
Firstly, download the extension from here and click on “Install” button. After installing it, right click on any online document such as .PDF file and click on “open in new tab”, it will automatically open in Google Docs Viewer.
These documents renders quickly in its full quality and you can perform basic functions like search or zoom-in or out within a document. You can also download the file, print it or save it too your Google Docs account directly from here.
In the same way you can open Doc or PPT files online and view it in Google Docs Viewer. You can also download, print, save and even edit doc files online in Google Docs.
I really found this extension handy and useful when it comes to view PDF files because it renders the documents quickly and I am able to read it within seconds after clicking the link. This is really a time saving extension and now I don’t have to download larger files on computer just to read it.

darn, good extension, installs easily and can finally view PDF and PPT just like in firefox. Thanks.
It seems that Google is implementing some of the features in its Google Chrome OS into its Chrome browser. I hope to see more of this.
An interesting tidbit…but how much time does it really save?
A nasty PDF could be a few megs in size…can’t you just use the open with function with firefox? Granted it saves a few seconds but it seems that the benefits do not outweigh the effort.
Seems to open the PDF file fine, but it still downloads it to the to DOWNLOADS folder on my machine. Any way to get it to quit doing the actual download?
Makes surfing the web that much more convenient! I swear there is seriously an app or add-on for just about everything needed out there. I wonder if it slows down browser performance when opening a large pdf. Makes life a little easier but not too much.
