### "The simplicity and functionality of Nitro is a major benefit of the software."

December 5, 2017

4.0

Pros

Ease of marking, editing, and creating PDFs. The software is fairly intuitive and requires little training/tutorials to get up and running. The ability to convert documents from PDF to word/excel is a major plus for Nitro.

Cons

At times, while viewing PDFs, the software will omit text. Usually restarting and reopening the document will fix the issue.

### "I like this software"

August 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

This is a good program for those that want functionality but not a huge full blown program like Adobe. I can type text in documents sent to me such as lien waivers and I can split files down into individual pages. It just works for me and isn't too complicated

Cons

Support. They aren't the best and you can't just call them you have to put in a ticket.

### "analytics review"

October 25, 2023

4.0

Nitro has enabled me to identify levels of document interaction and access along different workflows

Pros

i like the Tools for document analytics: Nitro gives users insight into how documents are utilized and accessed. Monitoring document engagement and streamlining document workflows can both benefit from this.

Cons

Nitro has compatibility issues: Windows compatibility is better than that of Mac. Although a Mac version called Nitro Pro exists, it could not have the same feature parity as the Windows version.

Alternatives considered

[Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/)

Reason for choosing Nitro PDF

Nitro has more users and high compatibility with windows

### "allows to seal, sign and print virtually a document directly to a pdf document"

July 14, 2018

5.0

for an end user that I support I needed to print something urgent and then send it by email, as your scanner was failing we decided to use this program, now we have realized that we are spending less paper by skipping the step of printing and then scanning

Pros

It has many options to import from several types of files, it allows me to mix several pdf files in one, flip the sheets that have been scanned badly, scan directly from a scanner, even create a virtual printer that you can use from any other application, I can put notes, highlight important lines, put pins for quick searches

Cons

can be costs for a single user, from the point of view of the installer does not allow blocking certain options for the end user

### "it's been a very helpful tool to read digital books and mark the most important parts."

May 4, 2018

5.0

I have been able to access a lot of digitized information from the internet.

Pros

I like that it allows me to transform files into PDF files and extract images from them. In addition, it is very simple to use.

Cons

What I like the least is that it does not allow you to separate documents in chapters. I have no other complaint regarding the program.

### "Excellent for conversions."

June 27, 2018

5.0

Nitro is an excellent software both for conversion (with minor errors when there are watermarks) and reading pdfs, I totally recommend it to everybody.

Pros

I use nitro as my default converter tool and as a reader. It is a much cheaper option than other ones in the market and it really works like a charm for me, specially as a pdf reader.

Cons

Nitro's conversion tool is really great, howerver sometimes I get errors, if there is a watermark in the document, then that part gets really fuzzy and I have to reconvert it.

January 19, 2022

5.0

Great experience. It is the all-in-one PDF tool that I use for everything.

Pros

Nito is so easy to use and it can be used for multiple purposes. Beside that it is a great PDF reader, it has amazing features such as converting PDF and other docs to many extensions. I used it most of the time to compress and combine files together.

Cons

There is nothing that I don't like about Nitro.

### "Great product"

February 29, 2020

4.0

If you're looking for alternative for Adobe, Nitro is the right choice.

Pros

I have been using it for many years and I must say it provides good quality features comparing to Adobe. I like the editing feature especially.

Cons

On a few occasions, I have noticed that exporting the file to some locations simply doesn't work. It stops at the end.

### "One of my favorite PDF tools so far"

January 16, 2019

5.0

I use NitroPDF for all my lecture notes. It really helped me to save time while combining all my documents together

Pros

I am counting on NitroPDF all the time. It is a great tool that I use for most of my documents and I like that it is very easy to use. One of the most important functions that I use is combining my documents in to one PDF file and NitroPDF does this job in a great and fast way. Also file conversion is another great, I can convert almost all my documents format to any file extension I need. Lastly, the price of the NitroPDF Pro is very reliable and considered to be cheap compared to other softwares/

Cons

I wish if NitroPDf was available for my iPhone and iPad. Other than that it is one of my favorite PDF tools

### "It's a decent replacement for Adobe at a fraction of the cost - but has drawbacks"

October 9, 2018

4.0

Nitro is definitely the best price for what you get, though be warned that not all features of Adobe are built into Nitro. The customer service team were incredibly helpful. The sales/marketing team could dial it back a bit with the spam emails. All in all, Nitro is definitely worth considering for PDF reader/editor alternatives.

Pros

Adobe is ridiculously expensive, so we used this product for approximately six months. It was much more affordable to license our users with Nitro and it did have the majority of the features that Adobe offered. Also, the customer service team is phenomenal and did their best to address any issues/bugs we came across.

Cons

We ran into issues with the reader lagging unexpectedly and sometimes completely freezing, requiring us to close and reopen the program. There were also a few features that seemed to be missing from the software. Lastly, we keep getting spammed by email offers to renew with Nitro to this day, even though we've unsubscribed from their emails and have moved on from their software.

### "Excelente app para documentos en PDF"

December 7, 2022

5.0

Utilizo la app de Nitro diariamente en mi empresa, ya que es una herramienta de trabajo que facilita la creación, edición, fusión y firma de documentos en PDF. Me facilita el trabajo y me ayuda a ahorrar tiempo en la organización de mi trabajo.

Pros

Lo que más me gusta de Nitro, es su uso tan sencillo y lo dinámica que es, ya que puedes crear, editar y convertir tus documento en PDF con tan solo un clic. También puedes firmar digitalmente los documentos en PDF.

Cons

LO que menos me gusta es que no es totalmente gratuita, por lo que no puede acceder todo el mundo.

### "Best PDF Editor "

July 6, 2023

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.

Overal very pleased as I mentioned above, love the features and the stability and seamless integration.

Pros

Nicer modern design, more robust search features, more flexible with tabs (can close all tabs to the right of a certain tab), viewing options and controls, very light on resources and integrates seamlessly with browsers. some of these features are not present in even the leading product.

In my use, I had no issues to report, editing probably is the only thing I missed In the free version.

Great experience. Nitro has so many features that helps with PDF management.

Nitro is one of the best in the market. I have been using it for at least 5 years and for me, it the easiest to use when it comes to file conversion. It is the best tool that converts PDF to word document and keep the same format. It is also so fast for opening PDf files.

Cons

Nothing at all. This tool is my favorite!

### "Good for working with PDFs, converting and editing them. "

July 16, 2018

5.0

It helps me work through my day faster. I use hundreds of PDF's on a weekly basis that all need a proper naming convention, header, footer, and need to be extracted to .XML or Word files. This benefits me with the ability to edit the PDF as well by adding notes.

Pros

The ability to convert the PDF to excel or word files. The ability to edit the document by adding text, highlights, headers and footers.

Cons

Sometimes the program can freeze and become unresponsive. This causes me to lose my pdf and start over.

### "Create, edit and share PDF documents"

March 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

This program allows annotations and comments to any of the paragraphs, sentences and words in the document through the comment toolbar which is super friendly and intuitive and easy to use. This application makes it easier for us to read our PDF documents, allowing us to highlight the most important parts in a pleasant and coherent way.

Cons

This program requires the execution of a plugin although it does not really have great disadvantages.
