Bookmarklet Converts PDF Links to Be Viewed With Google Docs PDF Reader

Joen created a JavaScript bookmark snippet that turns any normal links to PDF files into links that will point to Google’s online PDF viewer. Adobe’s PDF viewer tends to freeze browsing, and Joen finds Google’s viewer “far outshines” it. (Would it make sense to turn this into a Greasemonkey script, too? This would help with the occasional surprise effect when you click on PDF links.)

What a fantastic thing for lightweight browsing.
