Throw in form filling, collaboration tools and the ability to combine PDF files from multiple documents, and you have a tool that – if not quite the equal of Adobe Acrobat – is more than capable for most people’s needs at less than a third of the price, even after the recent price rises. Nitro pairs this functionality with a set of powerful editing tools, with both line- and paragraph-based text editing possible alongside the ability to swap out or insert images. This improves with each release, and version 10 introduced an auto de-skew function and improved text, images and table recognition. Unlike free products, Nitro Pro’s PDF creation tools are capable of producing editable files from the likes of Word and Excel documents, while it also comes with a serviceable OCR engine for scanning in editable versions of paper documents too. The program also installs it.Nitro Pro is a powerful tool for creating, editing and converting PDF documents. The latter task is now called QuickSign, but it appears procedurally identical to the old process: Load a picture of your signature, drag it and place it on the document, then double-click it to embed it. It also has the ability to extract both text and graphics as well as embed a graphic of your signature.
This ability means you can fill in PDF forms whether they have editable fields or not. It installs a driver that turns any kind of document into a PDF by simply printing it, and it’s one of a handful of free tools that allows you to add your own text to any kind of PDF. Nitro PDF Reader was never just a reader. Its new browser integration is nice as well.
This is no mean feat, as it was very fast before. The new version 2 of the PDF viewer/creator/editor whose interface mimics Microsoft Office’s to a great extent (2007 and now 2010–a good thing in my book), is now noticeably faster both opening and saving PDFs.
It’s leaner, it’s meaner, it’s Nitro PDF Reader.
