Having concept of "files" to be able to open pdf you just downloaded from email/browser inside pdf reader?

[glhaynes]

You can totally do that today.

Do you need the concept of files in order for that to happen?

[k_bx]

Well, I think yes (mimetypes at least).

[zeckalpha]

Sure, but the user doesn't need to know about the filesystem.

[k_bx]

Yes. He doesn't. He just taps on file he downloaded. Or opens reader app (which scans all pdf's for him).
