Excellent editing and document management software
Pros:
I really like Nitro for its ease of use and its interface, which means that when creating documents for our clients we do it professionally and in a short time, it really helps us a lot, especially in saving time and money , as it offers many features that make it easy to use.
Cons:
I really liked everything that Nitro offers, so far I am happy using this software and in the company we all think the same
Nitro User Ambivalent
Comments: I often have multiple open documents for reference. These documents will be open for weeks, or even months at a time (e.g. legislation/regulations, etc.) and it makes it easy to switch active documents and keep them all open for reference. When it crashes, or if the computer is rebooted (often due to an update), most of the time the documents auto-recover - but not always (making it difficult to get back to where I was).
Pros:
Simple to keep multiple tabs open, great for frequently referred to documents. Easy to highlight and annotate, and search (when optimized)
Cons:
Often crashes and doesn't always retain the open documents. Fomat conversion not always accurate or complete.

Thank you for your review. We're committed to providing a user-friendly experience and will take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve our product. Best, The Nitro Team
Alternatives Considered:
Just pay for DocuSign
Comments: Overall not a pleasant experience unfortunately. We really wanted to support a smaller business as opposed to docusign or adobe but it was too difficult to use
Pros:
It was much much cheaper than docusign which is what we originally had for obtaining digital signatures and managing these documents.
Cons:
It was extremely unintuitive to use and had a very poor UI. Eventually found ourselves being too frustrated with the UX and ended up paying the full money for docusign.
Alternatives Considered:
Excellent for PDFs
Comments: My overall experience with Nitro has been great. I would easily recommend this.
Pros:
Nitro is the best option for a free PDF program that I have found outside of Adobe. There are so many features that are included already that this easily outdoes any other free program that's currently available right now.
Cons:
I would like more color options when it comes to the interface itself.
Great PDF Reader
Pros:
Ease of use, color scheme, features in general similar to Acrobat.
Cons:
Nothing really, maybe add a few more colors to the drop down menus.
Love me some Nitro PDF
Comments: Love Nitro - if you need PDF or editing or signatures this is the program for you
Pros:
I love its ease of functions , I love how easy it is to maneuver through . It’s easy to create a PDF and it’s easy to edit if needed
Cons:
Price - only thing I would complain about is price . BUT you get what you pay for so it’s well worth it
Nitro Pro For Document Editting
Comments: I use Nitro Pro daily. Is handy for entering information easily prior to saving as a pdf.
Pros:
Nitro Pro is great for entering information/deleting information/amending information
Cons:
Nitro Pro's fields on certain documents are too small for what has to be entered.
useful pdf tool
Comments: It eliminates hours of work where previously a pdf document was much more difficult to edit or work on, now everything is simpler
Pros:
This tool is all I need to be able to better manage my pdf files, being able to edit, convert and merge them very quickly. Its price is quite cheap and it has many very useful resources. It is easy to use and you can start using it without having to undergo long training because its use is practically automatic
Cons:
Since I have used Nitro Pro I have not had any kind of problem, everything has worked correctly
Impossible to install
Pros:
I liked PDF editing. Wonderful. Program excellent.
Cons:
Unable to install it after purchasing two licenses.
Nitro Pro Review
Comments: My overall experience with Nitro Pro was positive, it helps me everyday.
Pros:
What I liked most about Nitro Pro was how easy it was to compile documents.
Cons:
What I liked least about Nitro Pro was that I kept getting logged out of my account, on multiple occasions.
Reliable PDF Tool
Comments: I am really not happy about the price (Total\Annual)-the full package of features maybe-but it flies away from regular users. Reconsidering compatibility with most Windows resources.
Pros:
While using the software I found a number of features more than other PDF tools, allowing me to upload images in different formats, merge data to other formats found easy like Excel, and convert to PDF files in not easier before in other software. Nitro is a great tool with an all-in-one package. OCR Scanner is an advantage. Easy to combine, split or edit any PDF Files.
Cons:
When handling a big file size or after using the software for a time shows a bug hanging and crashes the durability of the software in the pro version. To have a mobile App with complete features would be nice. The UI needs to be redesigned to be more flexible with a large document view (check Zooming).
Nitro Exceeds Expectations
Comments: As a new user, my overall experience exceeded my expectations. I am no longer intimidated. Kudos for making a product that enhances productivity and security at the same time. Nitro makes document management so much easier.
Pros:
What I like most about Nitro is that it has features that make document management easier. I was used to a limited use program and Nitro provided greater opportunity to explore how PDF can be used. I especially like having the ability to create, combine and revise documents with ease. Makes organizing a breeze.
Cons:
I am a new user to Nitro Pro but I would like to see the ability to convert PDF documents to Word quicker. At first I was intimidated to utilize the features because there were so many but once I began to utilize the features, I found the possibilities to be endless.
Nitro is a very good tool for create and edit PDF
Comments: Excellent! Nitro is a so powerful and so versatile PDF editor and reader with many useful tools and features
Pros:
Nitro is easy to use and has extensive tools and functionalities for PDF editing and management with a wide range of tools for editing, merging, splitting, or converting PDFs, Nitro can be a digital notebook since it also has tools such as highlighting, striking through, adding comments, adding forms, adding images, signatures, and stamps, etc. Also has cloud integration and you can collaborate with other people (with access) in the documents.
Cons:
Sometimes (although it also depends on the computer's computing power) Nitro tends to lag or close on its own, losing the work that has been done. Also, the interface can be a bit confusing, causing some utilities to be in unexpected menus.

Alternatives Considered:
Nitro PDF - Cost effective alternative to "BIG" PDF
Comments: Nitro PDF allowed us to equip entire departments that, in the past, would only purchase one or two subscription licenses from the other guys to manage costs.
Pros:
Cost effectiveness was key. I have some users that had a pretty minimal requirements i.e. add/remove pages. but the other guys cost so much money to get just a basic level of function. Nitro presented a cost effective license for PDF editing.
Cons:
The user interface was more clicks than would have been ideal. There are some functions such as page rotation that required additional clicks to rotate the entire document with no option to set that feature as the default setting. Training videos and help menu were very useful but typical users failed to investigate these without prompting from IT but when they did most issues were resolved quickly.
NitroPro is my go-to PDF Tool.
Comments: Nitro-Pro is my go-to PDF tool. I love the format. It is so easy to insert pages, delete pages, edit text when necessary, add text to document and add watermarks to documents. I love the tool to turn the PDF into excel spreadsheets. It is so easy to use and I am able to convert several documents all at once.
Pros:
Nitro-Pro is super easy to use. I can edit multiple PDF's all at once. I especially like the ease of inserting and deleting pages from PDFs, and converting to new documents.
Cons:
I do not like the signature feature. I could not get it to work in the manner I was looking to utilize it. I tried to look up help documents in the app, but failed to find the solution.
A great pdf editor and viewer
Pros:
Ease of use, simple interface and great results from editing to conversion
Cons:
Nothing to mention, satisfying results with evry use

If you have an infinte life span then this is the product for you
Comments: Lengthy and painful and oh so slow...
Pros:
Nothing really - interface seems well organised I suppose...
Cons:
Takes the most ridiculous amount of time to do what it is designed to do - create PDFs...
Nitro PDF
Pros:
I have used this product for close to ten years and enjoy the all-around functionality it brings to managing my documents. The ability to convert a PDF to various formats is helpful, and in almost all instances there is little if any corruption of the original document format. The ability to edit the PDF in the program is also easy to use and helpful.
Cons:
After using the program for so long, I have little to say in regard to any cons.
Excellent Acrobat alternative
Pros:
I found the text editing feature to be extremely easy to use. Editing and altering existing pdf files is something I do quite often and I am always on the lookout for a product that can meet my expectations.
Cons:
The only con is that you have to pay for it after the trial but this is customary with most products.
Best PDF Editor
Comments: I'm very happy with my experience using Nitro to edit, erase and combine pages into one document.
Pros:
Editing and erasing text when required. Also, I like the way we can convert a PDF file into a word document.
Cons:
When combining two different pages into one, it can get tricky sometimes but in the end you can still do it.
Good Alternative to Adobe
Comments: It's a good alternative to adobe especially for pdf viewing many documents at once.
Pros:
The tab features make your taskbar a lot less cluttered.
Cons:
It takes some getting used to, and other users who are used to adobe products will not appreciate the minor incompatibilities that crop up very rarely.
