PDF file support in SharePoint 2013

This is a new feature introduced in SharePoint 2013, PDF files are now supported in SharePoint 2013.

In SharePoint 2010 or MOSS 2007, we have to install PDF ifilter or Foxit PDF iFilter  to work with PDF files.

But in SharePoint 2013 you can open the PDF files without saving it in the local machine, provided you should have Adobe Reader should be installed.

In SharePoint 2013 when user clicks on a pdf file, it prompts for checkout or open the pdf file directly.
