Microsoft has promised to support PDF files in the next version of its Office software suite.
Office 12 will have a 'Save as PDF' function to create a PDF and electronically distribute a read-only version of the document.
Microsoft said that enquiries about native support for PDFs is the second most common support call, and that it receives 120,000 queries worldwide for 'PDF' through Microsoft Office Online.
"Our most valued professionals have expressed strongly their desire to see this functionality integrated with Microsoft Office, and we are answering these requests," said Steven Sinofsky, senior vice president of the Microsoft Office product development group.
Sinofsky did not say whether the recent decision by the State of Massachusetts to move away from Office for government systems as the suite does not support rival file formats had any bearing on the decision.

pdf in new version of office
Ihad posted a suggestion on microsoft.com/office/community/en-us,about pdf .Pls read it-office developer add-in.I go more deeper into the subject and recommend adobe reader& other adobe programs be combined or intergrated into the new version of office legally.Everything in the new version does not have to be microsoft original- what counts is the product with the end user in mind.Give him what he wants &needs.If companies can merge why not a software.
