### "Nitro, the best app for pdfs"

August 22, 2023

5.0

Since I came across Nitro in my life, I won't change it for anything, it has saved my life countless times with its pdf conversion and merging tools, I love its simple and easy to understand interface. Its text selection is very useful if you want to make a quote in another document. I just love it!

Pros

It has an incredible amount of tools, such as text editing, combination with other pdfs, size reduction, converters to other file types. And undoubtedly the most impressive, the virtual signatures, where they are automatically detected when you open a pdf.

Cons

I find no negative points of the software, as it is very well developed.

### "You will hate this product"

September 30, 2023

1.0

Ever since the company switched to Nitro - I have had such headache over it. I can find everything I need but I hate doing it. the savings the company got by switching to this platform cant be worth the time and hazzel it has caused all the employess..

Pros

I like the white out feature and high-lighting feature

Cons

everything, you have to click a hundred time sto get the setting you want and then you have to go back and click 100 more time to change them back. ANd if you forget to do that youll print sometimes a whole document out wrong. and some of my stuff is 100 pages.

### "A happy accident"

December 27, 2022

5.0

A long time user, I've used it for at least 7 years, and I've been really pleased with its performance, a bit expensive, but worth the price.

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.

Cons

There's really nothing bad to say about Nitro pdf, my most trusted tool to deal with anything PDF related.

May 6, 2021

5.0

Nitro is one of the indisposable software's i use often. 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.

Pros

One the great features of this software is that it can be well integrated to other softwares like Ms word and AutoCad and some other related app. To me its the most versatile portable document processing software.

Cons

Everything about this software is perfect. I love it everyday and

### "The best software for PDF editing"

May 9, 2020

5.0

I always need to have it on my PC. 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.

### "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.

### "Nitro PDF ( Review )"

November 2, 2018

5.0

I used to hustle trying to convert some PDF to word or any other different format. it was so stressful since i had to use an online converter of which it's not efficient as it consumes a lot of time converting online. 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.

Lengthy and painful and oh so slow...

### "The best second option"

November 27, 2020

5.0

Nitro is an excellent choice if you work mainly with texts and documents. If your concern is just handling the PDF world, then this is your best option. It has a lot of compatibility and is a strong software.

Pros

Nitro Pro is a complete software for PDF’s. You can create PDFs from JPEGs, PNG, office documents or even other PDFs. The software is easy to use and has some nice add-ons like OCR, for scanned documents and annotation features. 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. To be fair I use a computer that is 5 years old. Otherwise, there is no problem with this software

### "A great software for your PDF needs!"

October 5, 2022

5.0

Overall, Nitro is a great program for my PDF needs. I would definitely recommend it!

Pros

I'm going to talk about Nitro for PDF files, because that's what I use it for. I can already say that it has nothing to envy to other software of the same type. It has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to use. It is versatile so I can use it for many different purposes. It really offers a wide range of features that make it the ideal tool for PDF-related tasks like: creating, merging, converting different files into PDFs and vice versa, editing, protecting with passwords and permissions, filling out forms and more. In short, it is one of the indispensable tools for handling PDF files.

Cons

Just a small improvement in customer support, apart from that, I have nothing to complain about with this excellent software.

### "Makes working with PDFs simple"

May 7, 2020

5.0

Nitro has made working with PDFs daily very fast and easy!

Pros

Nitro is simple and easy to use. You can easily convert documents to PDF and you can covert PDFs to Word Docs. This program is very user friendly.

Cons

There are times when trying to redact or add text boxes that it can be a little touchy. At times when you try to print a document it will not automatically rotate to fit the document.

### "WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER"

June 13, 2019

3.0

The complete lack of support has sent me elsewhere. 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.

This problem has been checked and justified

Pros

 The program is small in size compared to the functions performed by to deal with files الـpdf different. With a simple interface, attractive and easy to use and divided into several tabs for easy to convert pdf files and modify them. With Nitro PDF you can open more than PDF in single page inside the program is the idea of opening more of the site within the Google Chrome browser or Firefox. The possibility of converting word files to pdf with ease and vice versa. Convert pdf files to excel and vice versa. You can also convert pdf files to image or group of images to PDF with ease and reduce the size of the file after you make the conversion. Also includes Nitro PDF a lot of options to modify and edit merge to insert text and images and various graphics to with specify the date, time and bookmarks within the file الpdf. Possibility to add different frames and pdf files to embellish it and make it more elegant and attractive and fit every taste and numbered 

Cons

problem of the response : the program Nitro PDF stop responding after you open the file PDFF a few times . This problem has been reported constantly by many users who work heavily with PDF files where the program Nitro Pro completely and cause the suspension system, which pays users to re-run the system completely to use it . This was one of The within Nitro Pro repeated. 2 - the inability to open a specific file : the problem here is that user able to open all the PDF files from the source only one file . Has continued this problem on Windows XP and Windows 7 – 64-Bit

### "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.

Cons

I encounter difficulties opening pdf documents, created with the newer Adobe formatting styles on Nitro.

If my employer was not paying for me to use NitroPro, I would use Adobe Pro instead.

Pros

The best feature of Nitro Pro is how easy it is to combine documents and the quick sign.

Cons

Editing and formatting text is not very user friendly like Adobe Pro. Not having the option to open PDFs in separate windows is not ideal.

Excellent overall. I have used many pdf software platforms but I recommend Nitro the most.

Pros

One of the features I use most is the one that changes pdfs to word documents. This software performs this task better than any other I have used.

Cons

It can take a while to learn all of the features as it is a powerful tool. This is the nature of most useful platforms so it's really just a nitpick.
