ABBYY FineReader PDF vs Nitro Pro: Which is a better fit?

Ray: Hi, I'm Ray. I'm president of a trade association. I give ABBYY Reader a five out of five. For more reviews, click below. I like ABBYY Reader because it's a very quick and easy way to edit PDF documents as well as view them. I use it as my default viewer, but I also use it to edit documents and find it very useful. What I like the most about ABBYY FineReader is the compare documents function that allows me to compare two different PDF documents without converting the documents to any other format. It highlights the changes for me and allows me to save time that otherwise I would spend trying to compare documents line by line. There really isn't anything that I would change about this ABBYY FineReader. It is the perfect solution for my business. We are in the business of dealing with legislation and so looking at multiple versions of bills, it's very important to be able to tell what the changes are. And that's what we find most useful about ABBYY Reader as well was being able to edit PDF documents on the fly.

Grant: Hi, my name is Grant. I'm a financial advisor. I'm the only one in my business and I give Nitro Pro five stars. Before I started using Nitro, I really didn't have any solutions. Adobe's got some pretty basic editing tools for free. There wasn't too much there. So Nitro really helped me to expand the amount of options I had to editing PDF documents. I really like Nitro because it's a one-off fee. You're not having to pay a subscription. You basically just pay a one-time license and you've got it for life. So I've been using my version for years. You do have the option to upgrade, but I haven't, but it effectively lets me do all the editing I need in documents. There's a huge amount of options that you do have. For me, I basically just use it to edit text and search for text on printed documents and things like that, and make little tweaks here and there, but it's got heaps of editing options for those who want to do a lot more. It's actually really, really easy to get started with Nitro. The user interface is pretty self-explanatory. There's not a lot to try and click through unless, again, you want to get through to the nitty-gritty, detailed features. But for those who just want to rotate documents, edit text, add text, all the simple kind of things, everything's super easy to use. So if you've been thinking about getting Nitro, one huge benefit over the traditional options is the fact that it is just a one-time fee as opposed to a subscription. It's got heaps of editing options. You can do the online signatures. It does have upgrades if you do need more features and functionality there, and if you need support, I've contacted them only once in the past, but they were really, really helpful when I needed them.
