  Why use the Google Documents engine to show PDF documents? As you already know, in order to display properly a PDF document you need to have specific proprietary software (like Adobe Reader) installed on your computer. Besides that, the proprietary software doesn’t integrate in a native way with your browser to display PDF documents from the web, as a result, PDF documents on the web take a considerable time to be displayed into the client computer, and in some sad situations no even display at all. All those issues could be fixed using the Google Documents engine to display our PDFs, with the Google Document engine the viewer for our PDF documents will be integrated natively in our browser; it is in that way because the Google Document engine uses only web-based technologies. Plus that, our documents will show quickly, because the documents are converted “on the fly” for the Google Documents engine to be shown as images.
