PDF files with Chrome

Tried to open a pdf file and it says no app installed to do it. Is there currently a way to do it, if not it is in development?

Adobe has a viewer for android phones so I assume this ability will come soon after the market comes available. Being as big a company they are they may be already working on this as well as adobe air.

Can someone check; can you install extensions on Chrome? I particularly want to see if you can get LastPass on it.

It would be nice if they had a built in quick viewer, kind of like google mail has, where you can view it in a web page.  That's all I think most people would need.

Re: PDF files with Chrome

There's a thread on GTV Forum about workarounds for viewing a PDF file. The first part of the thread consists of a workaround that was mentioned before the 3.1 update (so no apps are used) - then recently there were some new posts suggesting apps from the market that you could use for reading a PDF file. I personally like the speed reading app that I mentioned in the thread:
