As the days are passing by, new information and leaks keep coming about the next version of Windows operating system i.e. Windows 8. As per few reports, Windows 8 will have its own PDF reader which will be capable of opening a PDF file and browse that without installing any other software like Adobe Acrobat Reader. Now even the latest version of Google Chrome browser is capable of opening PDF files and you can read the document on the browser itself. But the addition of PDF reader possibly named as “Modern Reader” will be a good addition in Windows OS.
