PDF Viewer Bookmarklet

As a user of Chrome in linux, there are still some things that are broken. For example, whenever I load a PDF, most of the time the Docs PDF Viewer extension will display it properly. However, there are still times where the PDF doesn't load properly within the reader.
So I whipped up a quick bookmarklet for whenever this happens.

Simply create a new bookmark with the URL as follows:

javascript:void(window.open('http://docs.google.com/viewer?url='+escape(location.href)+'&outputmode=link'+'&title='+escape(document.title)+'&ref=browser'))

This will open up the current page in the Google Docs PDF Viewer.
