MS Office to support ODF and PDF...

The news is out and this time it is correct. Microsoft has decided to add support for ODF and PDF in MS Office 2007 through the Office SP2 to be released in early 2009. What it means is that now we can save office files in ODF and PDF format. Currently also it is possible but you have to use different plug-ins for this. Now this support would be give in Office only.

This is a good feature for end users. Once installed, they need not have to use any plug-ins or converters to translate the word file to PDF etc. This may also open lot of opportunities to programmers to play around with this feature programmatically using Office APIs.

Cheers,
Amol
