Google Docs Viewer Adds Support for 12 New File Formats Including Pages

Google Docs View has been updated with support for 12 new file formats including Apple Pages, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

The Google Docs Viewer is used by millions of people every day to quickly view PDFs, Microsoft Word documents and PowerPoint presentations online. Not only is viewing files in your browser far more secure than downloading and opening them locally, but it also saves time and doesn’t clutter up your hard-drive with unwanted files.

Today Google launched support for 12 new file types:
● Microsoft Excel (.XLS and .XLSX)
● Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 / 2010 (.PPTX)
● Apple Pages (.PAGES)
● Adobe Illustrator (.AI)
● Adobe Photoshop (.PSD)
● Autodesk AutoCad (.DXF)
● Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG)
● PostScript (.EPS, .PS)
● TrueType (.TTF)
● XML Paper Specification (.XPS)


In Gmail, these types of attachments will now show a "View" link, and clicking on this link will bring up the Google Docs Viewer.
