Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nitro PDF is a Great Program and Very Comparable to Adobe" February 19, 2026 5.0 Overall, I find that working in Nitro PDF is user friendly and assists in work efficiency. The E-signature request feature helps facilitate a smoother workflow by allowing users to send requests for electronic signatures directly from the document. Pros I really enjoy the comprehensive features that assist with work efficiency and integration with Microsoft programs. I love the digital signature and document modification features the most. Cons I really wish that Nitro PDF would have a simpler and more efficient way of moving pages in large documents. I also think that the text box editing feature could use improvement to help in ease of formatting.

February 13, 2026 2.0 Steer clear of this company, support is useless and the website just sends you round and round in everlasting circles, passing the buck from one company to another and back again. Pros It works well and fulfilled all my needs for many years., but when I needed to transfer the licence from one laptop to another things fell apart. Cons Incorrect information from support, quick to take money for a licence impossible to get it back when they fail to provide the software. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) NitroPro was better, cheaper, and in those days support was very good. Review Source NP Nick P.

Director of IT Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Many Adobe features at a fraction of the price." April 17, 2025 4.0 When we switched from Adobe, the majority of users were happy with what Nitro can do. The layout and options were laid out very similarly to Adobe so there wasn't even much of a learning curve to the change for our teams. The majority of people had no issues and adopted it immediately while a few others with specific workflows needed some extra support. Pros It is a much cheaper option to Adobe Acrobat and performs very well in comparison. We are able to put our resources to more places by saving money with a product that can do the same job. Cons It is not always a 100% match for what Adobe can do depending on what features you need, so there are some times when we need to reach outside of the product to find a solution. This is only for niche circumstances though.

October 8, 2025 5.0 Pros Cost and ease of setup, Allows us to give certain staff a product to edit documents and perform other PDF functions Cons Not much i don't like, it is affordable and functions properly as a pdf tool. only thing might be with product licenses when we move them to other staff we have to remove it from the other Switched from [Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/) Cost, Nitro PDF has a perpertual licensing so it lowers Review Source FL Fernando L. Managing Partner Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It just works!" November 17, 2024 5.0 I was first introduced to Nitro Pro at a previous employer and loved how it was being used. I then bought a license for my own personal use and now I use it for my law practice. I have had very few issues with the program and I love its versatility in providing useful tools to the legal field. Pros What I like most about Nitro Pro is the array of tools it provides for legal professionals Cons What I like least about Nitro Pro is that some of the features to reduce the size of a file actually enlarge the file size of a document. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Previous employer used Nitro Pro and I just liked using it better for its features that help legal professionals Review Source PB Pati B.

Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) I didn't like the previous one. This one has more funcionalities.

Strong cloud integration which makes multi device use much easier. Comprehensive editing, reviewing, and security features. Cons Can be costly, but definitely cheaper than some big name brands Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Switched purely for cost reasons. Product is on par but far cheaper. Review Source MM Michelle M. Central Secretary Teaching & Learning Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nitro saves my life for personal and business!" April 15, 2021 5.0 We have documents and manuals that are hundreds of pages and Nitro makes it easy to open these manuals, change the things we need to change, add things at just one click and manipulate our outcome to be exactly what we need. I'm real impressed with Nitro and wish it would have came in my life years ago when I was struggling. I would resort to using online pdf converting tools and then would have to either pay or it just doesn't do what I need it to do. But since purchasing Nitro it gives me the ease to manipulate and change our files/manuals that have to updated yearly. There may be a 300 page manual that needs 2 things changed and Nitro makes it so easy to do. I love Nitro. I will definitely be purchasing it for my home personal use as well. Pros Nitro gives me the ease to navigate my pdf files where I can edit, convert, erase, make forms and maneuver around my pdf to delete or even copy pages of a lengthy document. To be able to edit a .pdf is where I see that Nitro is a step above the rest. It reads every aspect of my document line by line and I can edit, delete or even add words. Being able to edit a pdf file and make it look so much like the original is what I absolutely love! This program should have came in my life years ago because it is user friendly, easy to do things within the platform and the tools are easy to understand. I actually assisted a friend in a 100+ page document in minutes. There were dates and things that needed updating and Nitro made this so much easier for me with just a few clicks. I love Nitro!!! Jump on this software program, you won't be disappointed! Cons The only thing I can think of is sometimes when I am converting a file to word, if the file, for example has a line or colored box in the original pdf file, it will definitely read that but it makes if so difficult in Word to go through the file to delete all the "trash" that it converted. Now don't get me wrong that is what it is supposed to do when it converts a file, but it gets tiresome to find all the mistakes that it is supposed to convert. So this is just an user pet peeve. Sometimes it will also convert the text in different fonts, but that may be just a user error as well. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) I couldn't maneuver with Adobe like I can with Nitro. Adobe just isn't user friendly, outdated by my standards and I just got tired of it not doing what I needed it to do. But Nitro, my God, it gives me the ease to do what I need it to do at the drop of a hat and when I print out my completed document/manual or convert it, everything is exactly how I want it to be. Review Source MH Mark H. CEO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nitro is the real deal in the world of documentation and PDF editing." April 29, 2023 4.0 I enjoyed using it for the time I spent on it, with little improvements it might be the NO.1 in the PDF managing applications. Pros Viewing and editing PDF documents.Ability to import images in the PDF documents.Create PDF signatures.The ease of converting PDF to DOC and vise versa. Cons Little difficulties when it comes to adding some comments into the PDF document.The mobile app is a little bit buggy. Alternatives considered [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Reason for choosing Nitro PDF The features and the ability to install it on multiple devices without syncing clouds of all PCs and Laptops of the company. Switched from [Foxit PDF Editor](https://www.capterra.com/p/249044/Foxit-PDF-Editor/) I found the Nitro PDF more easy to use.

System Adminstrator Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Alternative for PDF Editing and Management" September 24, 2024 4.0 Nitro Pro is a solid alternative to other PDF management tools, offering a great balance of features and value. It’s easy to use and ideal for everyday document tasks, though performance improvements would enhance the experience. Pros Nitro Pro offers a full suite of PDF editing, conversion, and collaboration tools at a competitive price. It's user-friendly and provides strong integration with cloud storage services. Cons The software can sometimes be slower when handling large files, and occasional bugs with advanced features like OCR can be frustrating. Review Source AK Abhishek K.

Pros The PDF editor and E signature together with security password is very useful if you needed it. Cons None so far. The tool is very useful specially in PDF editing. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Mechanical Engineer Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better price and Integrated" October 12, 2022 3.0 Overall, a better viewer, reader, and editor for pdf and documents with an easy one-click file conversion application. A secure and faster digital signature delivery platform for the user. It is much easier to deploy with a software center for an organization. Pros Provides better functional ability to create, view, and edit the document and pdf. It can be integrated with additional platforms like Matlab, and Creo to view drawings after creation. The most important feature is the digital or e-signature without printing on paper which allows multiple users to access and authenticate. Better UI working screen for a reasonable price. Cons New users from competitors will struggle to look for menus and tools to cope with the user interface. Nitro should add additional fonts to customize the application. It cannot copy the same font in the existing pdf for adding the text. Review Source NT Nicholas T. Business Development Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Security and Simplicity " February 27, 2024 5.0 Nitro is the perfect system in this niche market. The app has made people's lives easier and the best part is being able to refer back to what has been done on the app in previous years. Keeps the customers and our company on track. Pros Security is the most crucial. Our company wants accurate information that is easy to have access to and without security the information could be compromised. Simplicity is a huge because people of all ages are able to easily use the application. Cons Converting a PDF to an Excel file takes a few steps and once you figure it out it is easy to use. Having to explain the steps to my co-workers' time and time again makes it a touch repetitive. Review Source Response from Nitro Software February 20, 2025 Thank you for your review. We value your feedback and are glad to hear you’ve had a good experience with Nitro, particularly in regards to security and compliance. Best, The Nitro Team Sean B.

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... Review Source MM Masuzyo M. IT Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nitro PDF. A Great Alternative" January 28, 2022 5.0 Initially, we were looking for an easy to use, affordable PDF editing and conversion tool. Luckily we came across Nitro and rest was history. We're easily able to edit, scan, convert and perform OCR on numerous PDF documents with great satisfaction and ease. Pros An easy to use software for editing PDF files and documents. It's straight forward user interface makes it easy to find your way around the software's numerous features. It's essentially more affordable that similar software on the market that basically offer the same features. Cons Desktop application is not compatible with Mac computers Review Source WK Waleed K. Senior Procurement Engineer - Facilities Management Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A useful tool for everyone that simplifies the procedures for merging and modifying documents" March 9, 2022 5.0 Nitro saved so much time, effort and paper that in the past it was printed more than once without any value. With Nitro we were able to collaborate on reviews without using paper, combine reports and add comments into a single copy, and most importantly to me, saving us a great deal of time and effort doing this in multiple applications. Pros Using Nitro saves us from having to print a lot of unnecessary documents, which saves a lot of time and money. When it comes to digitally editing papers, Nitro provides all the tools you need, as we can easily mark up and save papers, contracts, and drawings in the format and font size we desire. Nitro is a valuable and indispensable tool when preparing contracts, copying bids, and merging reports in PDF format, so that we can easily share and attach them via email. Notes can be passed between departments with Nitro, which saves time and paper especially when each department works in charge of its own note-taking. An organized, prepared and signed digital copy is important to simplify the documentation and archiving processes for all types of documents. Cons There is no room to mention anything negative about Nitro, as it is a very easy to use tool and performs its functions very flexibly. Review Source Santiago A. Co Editor Chief Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Using pdf has never been so easy." January 18, 2019 5.0 In the world of digital work, PDF documents come and go, in many opportunities, I receive information necessary to complete presentations but being in that format is difficult, that was before using Nitro, now I have the possibility of editing all the files that come to me in PDF format, as well as being able to create my own PDF files without limitations. The other benefit is the savings in my finances, applications or similar tools you get at higher prices than those offered by Nitro, so I highly recommend its implementation if you work in catalogs, reports, budgets, digital books, your memories, among others, Nitro's capabilities are lost sight of. Pros Of the things that I like most about Nitro, is that I can do multiple actions with the digital documents that come to me, or with those I believe. I can edit any content and offer it under the protection standards that I decide to put on it. Apart from the Nitro format, it adapts easily to any other system, another element that makes me feel when I use it. Another factor that has offered me that very few in the market can match, is the digital signature, thanks to that I have been able to transmit files with the support of my signature without being physically anywhere else, be it national or international, a very functional innovation. In addition, you can count on the support of the company in other areas such as the cloud, now imagine that so many other things you can do, I am very happy with everything that Nitro offers me. Cons I have been using their services for several years and I am pleasantly satisfied, I have not had problems since I decided to invest in their platform, but I think that it can improve the price offer for new and old customers, it is not a factor that determines my use or not, in my case does not apply, but for entrepreneurs who do not have the right time, it may be different.

Housing Clerk Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nitro pdf is the best pdf editor " July 21, 2022 5.0 It is a great product and I will recommend it to family and friends as I already did. Pros The editing of scan and emailed copies are great to work on and it is easy to use. Cons Editing a scan copy of a old document it is hard to get the text aligned with the text on the document.
