August 29, 2023 5.0 Permite editar facilmente documentos en pdf y convertir a muchísimos formatos y la combinación tan sencilla de documentos en uno solo y su edicion lo hace muy amigable y eficiente para el trabajo diario. Pros Me gusta su versatilidad al editar documentos, combinar varios documentos en uno, el poder convertir un pdf a diversos tipos de archivos como word, excel y archivos de imagen. Cons El precio, creo que si esta algo caro pero vale cada peso que pagas pero podria estar mas accesible aqui en Mexico. Alternatives considered [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Reason for choosing Nitro PDF Por lo sencillo y eficiente, ya que he probado dos versiones y las dos me gustaron.

Tiene una amplia gama de características y herramientas, lo que puede hacer que sea difícil encontrar lo que se busca o navegar a través de las opciones.

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.

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 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 VR Verified Reviewer Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Stay away from this one. Support is AWFUL and the current version crashed windows explorer" May 20, 2022 3.0 Nitro PDF is a good program when it works but if you have any issues with their product you will need to figure it out yourself or uninstall because their support is worthless and if the program is a developer issue you would be better off throwing your money in the trash Pros Good PDF editor. Allows to edit files in multiple ways Cons Support is terrible and do not care about their customers. The sales team also has no interest in helping even though support has not replied in over 10 days and their program is crashing our computers multiple times a day. I have multiple licenses with 4 users having their computers crash daily. Other users in the community have also confirmed that they are having the same issues. They easily could've downgraded our program for now until they fix these issues however their sales team failed to acknowledge the request. Review Source Robert R. Systems Administrator Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Nitro PDF - Cost effective alternative to "BIG" PDF" September 30, 2021 5.0 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. Alternatives considered [ABBYY FineReader PDF](https://www.capterra.com/p/65868/ABBYY-FineReader/)[Docusign](https://www.capterra.com/p/121506/Docusign/)[Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/) Reason for choosing Nitro PDF Nitro was selected for cost effectiveness and available services including digital external signatures. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/) Cost effective single instance license w/ support terms were more cost effective than annual subscription from Adobe.

Pros Every thing that nitro offers makes it the best choice . Cons Nothing special you will miss in comparison to the advantages. Review Source MMD Majeed Mohammed D. Field Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nitro has never crashed on me, nor corrupted my documents" July 29, 2021 4.0 Nitro is the second pdf tool I have installed in my PC. And even though I rely on the other one for more sophisticated functions and better document security, I use Nitro for my most of my day to day pdf needs because it handles so easily and is very light weight. Pros Nitro is extremely easy to use. Finding authentic .apk files is very simple, even from third party sources. Installation is also very easy, and does not end up crowding up your drives with a clutter of installation files that could easily be hubs of malware. And when it comes to managing .pdf files, I never struggle to read, merge or convert files. Cons On a few occasions, I have had encrypted files open without requiring entry of passwords. I am not sure whether it was due to incomplete file encryption, or a program malfunction. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Even though Adobe provides higher security for document management, it can get a tad annoying with the incessant updates, notifications, and prompts. 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.

Pros Part of my job requires reading and editing reports and other files in PDF formats extensively among many other things, I used to try many different PDF processors either paid or free but each of them had its fair share of issues that i couldn't live with, until i switched to Nitro pdf which is now by far my favorite goto pdf reader and processor,since then i never looked back, it made my life easier and increased my productivity, it excels large and by far in performance department, it's very light and doesn't consume too much of your machine resources which mean it can work easily with any machine without the need for any certain requirements, it's very efficient when it comes to multitasking and has a very nice feature of batch processing where it can process multiple files at the same time easily and quickly, it's packed with tons of features that you could use to edit your pdf, it's compatible with other programs and can export your files to other formats so it can work flawlessly with them with no problem. it's very easy to learn and use, it has a very user friendly interface that you will find very similar to other programs. Cons I would say that the cloud support isn't the best and it needs a little attention but that won't ruin the great overall user experience you get out of this program. Alternatives considered [Soda PDF](https://www.capterra.com/p/226942/SODA-PDF/) Reason for choosing Nitro PDF It was cheaper and on sale so i give it a shot.

Pros Nitro consists of many tools apart from viewing PDF documents, conversion, annotation, editing, merging, splitting, file size reduction, all of which are useful tools that can be used without the need to use an external application. Cons Certain compatibility errors made it slow on some devices, like all paid software, in order to access the aforementioned tools you have to subscribe to the service. Therefore, the tools provided in a free plan are reduced but sufficient to work normally.

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.

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.

The fact that we can perform common PDF tasks like editing, reading, and form filling with a single app rather than a collection of them is a major improvement. To glean data, make changes, and edit text. The process of organizing and fusing together separate files, etc. Pros I have used nitro in my own work, is a great alternative to the expensive Adobe Acrobat professional version and offers most of the same features, including the ability to edit PDFs and to add signatures and watermarks.I like this PDF reader. Allows you to edit specific sections of a document. You can also enter text for documents. This is a good section. Documents can be signed and dropped off for processing and combine with others documents.It's great to be able to annotate a page with whatever notes I need to make, be they written, drawn, or otherwise inserted. For me, this is a huge time and paper saver. I also like how easy it is to merge multiple PDFs into a single document, and how Nitro arrange them in the order you like. Cons There are some aspects that need to be improved regarding the editing of documents, there are many fonts that it does not have which makes it difficult to edit documents, another weakness that it has is that sometimes it crashes when working with large files.
