Pros Many years ago I used this software by accident to read some pdf files, since then it became the most essential tool for daily use, anything I require I find in here, be that OCR, converting pdf to many format, Microsoft plugin to convert documents directly to pdf, sharing with friends and colleagues, and even an excellent printing addon for browsers.

It helps me ti process all my documents with ease. The software is easy to use and helps to edit any form or document and convert to any document format i likes.

Although there are periods when I do not use it, it is always good to have this tool. Pros This software is used essentially to edit PDF and it does it in a very easy way, being able to modify any file. It also gives you the option to pass it to other formats such as Office Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Or simply as a PNG or JPG image. Cons It is a program that consumes a lot of RAM and can put old computers somewhat slow, but it is not something to worry about. It also takes a long time to charge. If you simply want to read a text in PDF I do not recommend it. Lighter programs can be used. Review Source KARLA ANDREINA G. ANALISTA DE RECURSOS HUMANOS Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Such a bad reader but with excellent conversion tools" August 27, 2018 4.0 Nitro is such an amazing pdf converter, but such a bad pdf reader. I don't recommend you use this as your standalone pdf software but for you to complement it with a good pdf reader and you will have a really satisfactory experience. Pros Nitro is an excellent software for PDF conversion both for pdf converted documents and for scanned ones with its OCR tool. I constantly use it for converting my documents to word and excel format whenever I need to. Cons Something that really messes up my conversions is if the document is watermarked, I would love if they could work on this issue. Also as a reader it works too slow for me, my computer lags a lot and even transitioning from a page to the other is a painful experience. Review Source Innocent M.

Now am able to convert it without a hustle. Pros I love this program because it has nice features which can allow you to edit, Read/View, and also you dont need to hustle converting any document. Nitro has a feature where you can convert it into Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Power Point and also to Image jpeg. The most i love about nitro is that i can do a digital signature and i can edit the pdf the way i want. Cons The Programs needs you to have a license so that you can enjoy all the features freely.

You wouldn't miss acrobat a bit. I actually prefer this software. It Is a standalone product, and you don't have to deal with subscriptions or other hassles like in adobe. Cons Sometimes the software is too bloated. My laptop can barely handle it. It has occasional freezing. So I rarely use it to read PDFs, I use nitro for its creation capabilities.

I have been fooling around with them for well over a month with no resolution. GOODBYE Pros Easy to use, this software has great features, it is probably the best software for PDF programs. Cons The customer support, or rather lack thereof. The support team takes an extremly long time to reply 4-5 days on some emails. They keep sending the same broken link, and same answers. They do not have a number or a person that you can speak to. It is a shame for software to have such crappy service when the product is good.

Administrator Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best for features and overall usability" June 29, 2021 3.0 Use to love the product, but their activation process has become too flakey. I can't justify the extra expense or hours trying to fix something that should never have broke in the first place. Pros Merging documents is a breeze, deleting page numbers, inserting a signature, zooming.. all are much easier than Adobe Pro Cons The only thing I don't like is the lack of support. Several clients have license errors... the software reverts to trial mode and can't reactivate. I have spent hours on the forums and KB's trying everything, but the answer is always the same... upgrade. Even if the version being used is current... doesn't matter. They won't talk to you under any circumstance, the only solution is buy again. I have stopped recommending for this reason. Review Source Juan Jesús G.

It speeds up reaction time with clients and gives us flexibility to work with whatever information is sent our way. Creating documents that fit the needs of all our recipients, never having to worry that someone can't open or review what is sent. Pros In a document based environment, where we continually have the need to convert to pdf and then edit those and other pdf documents, Nitro has taken off the restraints with the multiple functions for editing. Whether converting to word processing, creating forms, extracting or deleting pages,including e- signatures or simply typing directly into a pdf doc, Nitro's simplicity for the complicated saves us time. Cons There are still bugs, such as using up too many system resources (which slows us down a bit, but overall we still save time) because of interaction with other programs. Direct conversions take a little longer with Nitro than others, but given the access to editing it is a fair tradeoff. Sometimes files appear to save larger than expected. Reason for choosing Nitro PDF After reading the reviews of each, the cost comparison and the minimal invasive restrictions (necessity for online accounts - while an option, not a requirement), it was the best option.
