 * Is there the option, or could there be, to display documents in the browser window?
   mostly I need this for pdfs so users dont have to download and open as a separate
   process.
 * I’ve tried finding such an option but theres no direct link, only the forced 
   download. I dont want to use Wordperss media library but its looking like the
   option option.

 * The preview functionality is what you are looking for you can either use the 
   drop down menu and press the preview button or if you go directly to the mdocs
   post you can set the tab to preview which will allow users to see the file.

 * hi
    thanks for the reply.
 * Previews are handled by 3rd party i.e. googledocs, which I cant use. Im using
   this on an intranet site and so theres no communication outside of that due to
   site security.
    so all I need is an open in browser option.

 * I would like to second the wish to implement an in browser preview option. We
   too are using WordPress for an intranet environment, and do not wish to use an
   online previewer.
