If you are like me, you surely get lots of email messages with PDFs attached to them
. PDFs are one of the more common ways to create documents that hold their appearance from computer to computer. Unfortunately, Outlook 2007 doesn't have the native ability to view those PDF documents. Instead, it forces you to use an external program and jump out of Outlook to view the attachments. Life would certainly be easier if you could preview PDFs the same way you can preview attached Word documents or Excel spreadsheers.
Luckily, this is simple to fix, because Adobe, the creators of the PDF format, have released a complimentary Preview PDF add-in.
