Easily view PDFs in Google search results

Search for a commonly downloaded form like a 1099 from the IRS. Click the “Quick View” icon, and a Google Doc will open up with the PDF where you can save, edit, or print.
With this move, Google is one step closer to becoming a host to the content, instead of just indexing it.
