Google has introduced notable updates of their Chromebook apps popping out subsequent week, and the Gallery app PDF modifying options caught my consideration probably the most.

It introduces new PDF modifying functionalities, equivalent to “fill out kinds, spotlight textual content, signal paperwork and add textual content annotations.” Whereas these don’t cowl all modifying features professionals would possibly want, they clearly cowl most individuals’s necessities.

Moreover, Gallery could be a lot lighter to put in and use than the official free Acrobat Reader app, not to mention the Acrobat Professional full resolution.

PDF apart, Google additionally launched a screen-recording app referred to as Screencast app and a handwritten app referred to as Cursive app.

Screencast is nice for recording tutorials and even slide present shows with a voice-over. Sometimes, that’s dealt with by a 3^rd celebration app on Home windows/Mac, however internet apps may not be the perfect medium for this, so it is smart for Google to step in and fill the hole.

The cursive app helps customers seize and handle handwritten notes geared in the direction of Chromebooks with e-Pen assist.

We like how the Chromebook platform has developed, taking up a big swath of the Android pill ecosystem with its desktop-level looking and reasonably priced pricing. It’s nice to see Google persevering with to combine important apps and providers.
