It was only a few weeks ago that Google rolled out some nifty new features for Presentations, its Web-based PowerPoint clone, and now the company is back with even more upgrades. What's new now? Take a look:

Save your presentations as PDF files, then download them for on-the-go viewing and sharing.
PDF-based printing options. Go to File > Print, select how many slides you'd like on a page (up to 12), and preview your choice.
Vector shapes, which let you add basic diagrams and drawings to your slides. For example, use block arrows to point out important items, or say something in a call-out bubble.

Good stuff! So what do you say, Web workers? Who gets your presentation-building business, Google Docs or Zoho? A different service? Talk it up in the Comments. [via The Official Google Docs Blog]
