Google Docs Integrates with Google Searchīing Becomes the Main Alternative to Google Search Remove 'On Behalf Of' from Messages Sent Using Gmail The problem seems to be browser related, and Google is looking for a permanent fix because not only PDFs but also spreadsheets seemed to be affected by this bug.
