Description:
Uses Google docs API and Zoho Viewer API to open links with PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, PPT, RTF, ODT, ODS, ODP, CSV etc. files online in the browser itself without need for any third party software installed on your computer. This script reduces the need for additional plugins required to open documents such as Acrobat reader plugin, etc. This is light weight on your system compared to using third party softwares, reducing browser / system crashes and load on your system.

Tested OK on Firefox 15.0 (also on latest Aurora and Nightly buids (2012-08-12)) with lastest version of Greasemonkey.
(Works best with Firefox using latest version of Greasemonkey. Also works well on Chrome directly. Not tested on Opera and Other browsers)

Installation Instructions: 

1. Firefox
   
   • Greasemonkey Userscript: Firefox users can install it as a userscript using Greasemonkey.
   • Firefox Addon: Install the Docs Online Viewer Firefox addon. (click here to downlaod)
2. Chrome / Chromium
   • Userscript: Userscript is now made compatible with Chrome / Chromium web browsers by eliminating Greasemonkey specific function calls.
   • Extension for chrome is coming soon.
3.  MaxthonThe Maxthon addon is compiled from the userscript by third party developer. Although it is tested to work fine, I cannot be held responsible for any good/bad that happens with it.
    

You can install either the Greasemonkey userscript or addon but not both. Both of them provide the same functionality.
