This new viewer provides you rich set of features. You can zoom in and out, select text to copy and paste, and "print" the presentation to a PDF document. And, unlike the old version, Gmail no longer require you to have a Flash plug-in installed on your browser.

“Gmail online viewer gives you the option to "print" the TIFF by opening it as a ready-to-print PDF’ said Marc Miller, Software Engineer.
