Office 12 to have native PDF support

Microsoft has confirmed that Office 12 (the next version of Office) will contain support for the popular PDF format. PDF has grown in popularity and a number of tools have been created, including Adobe Acrobat for creating and viewing PDF documents. Office 12 will be the first Microsoft Office product to contain PDF support, but there have been plenty of free tools, including the free rival to Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org, which has had PDF support for over 2 years.
