I agree with the language part, I guess they will have it, but the spellchecker is in there. If you go to the bottom right and click on flagged items you can correct the spelling mistakes. Em, I totally agree with you! Hi Peter!

Em, I totally agree with you!

But i know they are also in the works. It would be great with some more languages for the UI and spellchecker. But i know they are also in the works.

I thought "oh it's by adobe...no doubt it'll open a pdf..." but was surprised likewise when it didn't. Sure you can convert to different formats using different services, but a centralized service that can do all formats is certainly much more convenient. However, considering all features, I did find it much better than google docs and, in some respects, zoho. The ability to display individual pages as actual individual pages is a big advantage it has over the other two. Hello Daniel,

I tried to open a pdf too. I thought “oh it’s by adobe…no doubt it’ll open a pdf…” but was surprised likewise when it didn’t.

I was thinking about putting that in as a negative thing, and in all truthfulness, I don't know why I didn't. Google docs does support it, I think my logic was that if you need to you can easily convert these files. It would be nice if it was built in though. It's more surprising that .pdf is not supported, since it's an Adobe product. Hi Em!

Looks rather good otherwise. Thanks for this post. Would be lovely if it supported the open document format. Looks rather good otherwise. Thanks for this post.
