February 13, 2026 2.0 Steer clear of this company, support is useless and the website just sends you round and round in everlasting circles, passing the buck from one company to another and back again. Pros It works well and fulfilled all my needs for many years., but when I needed to transfer the licence from one laptop to another things fell apart. Cons Incorrect information from support, quick to take money for a licence impossible to get it back when they fail to provide the software. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) NitroPro was better, cheaper, and in those days support was very good. Review Source RM Renee M. Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nitro PDF is a Great Program and Very Comparable to Adobe" February 19, 2026 5.0 Overall, I find that working in is user friendly and assists in work efficiency. The E-signature request feature helps facilitate a smoother workflow by allowing users to send requests for electronic signatures directly from the document. Pros I really enjoy the comprehensive features that assist with work efficiency and integration with Microsoft programs. I love the digital signature and document modification features the most. Cons I really wish that would have a simpler and more efficient way of moving pages in large documents. I also think that the text box editing feature could use improvement to help in ease of formatting.

Director of IT Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Many Adobe features at a fraction of the price." April 17, 2025 4.0 When we switched from Adobe, the majority of users were happy with what Nitro can do. The layout and options were laid out very similarly to Adobe so there wasn't even much of a learning curve to the change for our teams. The majority of people had no issues and adopted it immediately while a few others with specific workflows needed some extra support. Pros It is a much cheaper option to Adobe Acrobat and performs very well in comparison. We are able to put our resources to more places by saving money with a product that can do the same job. Cons It is not always a 100% match for what Adobe can do depending on what features you need, so there are some times when we need to reach outside of the product to find a solution. This is only for niche circumstances though. Alternatives considered [Foxit PDF Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/175376/ConnectedPDF/)[SwifDoo PDF](https://www.capterra.com/p/239715/SwifDoo-PDF/) Reason for choosing Nitro PDF They had the best feature set at the best price. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/) The price of adobe per month was vastly higher than a perptual Nitro license. Review Source PZ Pierre Z.

Managing Partner Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It just works!" November 17, 2024 5.0 I was first introduced to Nitro Pro at a previous employer and loved how it was being used. I then bought a license for my own personal use and now I use it for my law practice. I have had very few issues with the program and I love its versatility in providing useful tools to the legal field. Pros What I like most about Nitro Pro is the array of tools it provides for legal professionals Cons What I like least about Nitro Pro is that some of the features to reduce the size of a file actually enlarge the file size of a document. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Previous employer used Nitro Pro and I just liked using it better for its features that help legal professionals Review Source PB Pati B.

Project Manager Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best PDF software " August 16, 2024 5.0 I have been Nitro on a daily basis alomst 5 years now and found it an amazing software to convert, edit and merge files together. You can combine all types of files e.g. pdf, word, excell, etc. and get a single pdf file. Pros Ease of use and amazing conversion features. Cons Software interface could be a bit more flashy Switched from [Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/) Ease of use and more processing power compared to similar product. Review Source MMD Majeed Mohammed D. Field Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nitro has never crashed on me, nor corrupted my documents" July 29, 2021 4.0 Nitro is the second pdf tool I have installed in my PC. And even though I rely on the other one for more sophisticated functions and better document security, I use Nitro for my most of my day to day pdf needs because it handles so easily and is very light weight. Pros Nitro is extremely easy to use. Finding authentic .apk files is very simple, even from third party sources. Installation is also very easy, and does not end up crowding up your drives with a clutter of installation files that could easily be hubs of malware. And when it comes to managing .pdf files, I never struggle to read, merge or convert files. Cons On a few occasions, I have had encrypted files open without requiring entry of passwords. I am not sure whether it was due to incomplete file encryption, or a program malfunction. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Even though Adobe provides higher security for document management, it can get a tad annoying with the incessant updates, notifications, and prompts.

Pros Part of my job requires reading and editing reports and other files in PDF formats extensively among many other things, I used to try many different PDF processors either paid or free but each of them had its fair share of issues that i couldn't live with, until i switched to which is now by far my favorite goto pdf reader and processor,since then i never looked back, it made my life easier and increased my productivity, it excels large and by far in performance department, it's very light and doesn't consume too much of your machine resources which mean it can work easily with any machine without the need for any certain requirements, it's very efficient when it comes to multitasking and has a very nice feature of batch processing where it can process multiple files at the same time easily and quickly, it's packed with tons of features that you could use to edit your pdf, it's compatible with other programs and can export your files to other formats so it can work flawlessly with them with no problem. it's very easy to learn and use, it has a very user friendly interface that you will find very similar to other programs. Cons I would say that the cloud support isn't the best and it needs a little attention but that won't ruin the great overall user experience you get out of this program. Alternatives considered [Soda PDF](https://www.capterra.com/p/226942/SODA-PDF/) Reason for choosing Nitro PDF It was cheaper and on sale so i give it a shot. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) very heavy and resource consuming, and has tons of restrictions that i didn't like. Review Source MO Michael O. Director Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nitro User Ambivalent" April 1, 2024 4.0 I often have multiple open documents for reference. These documents will be open for weeks, or even months at a time (e.g. legislation/regulations, etc.) and it makes it easy to switch active documents and keep them all open for reference. When it crashes, or if the computer is rebooted (often due to an update), most of the time the documents auto-recover - but not always (making it difficult to get back to where I was). Pros Simple to keep multiple tabs open, great for frequently referred to documents. Easy to highlight and annotate, and search (when optimized) Cons Often crashes and doesn't always retain the open documents. Fomat conversion not always accurate or complete. Switched from [Primo](https://www.capterra.com/p/255520/Primo/) Lack of features/support made it difficult to use it as I use Nitro Review Source Response from Nitro Software February 20, 2025 Thank you for your review.

Is handy for entering information easily prior to saving as a pdf. Pros Nitro Pro is great for entering information/deleting information/amending information Cons Nitro Pro's fields on certain documents are too small for what has to be entered.

Cons Not all packages have the e sign feature. Review Source JR Jennifer R. Billing Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love me some Nitro PDF" June 17, 2024 5.0 Love Nitro - if you need PDF or editing or signatures this is the program for you Pros I love its ease of functions , I love how easy it is to maneuver through . It’s easy to create a PDF and it’s easy to edit if needed Cons Price - only thing I would complain about is price . BUT you get what you pay for so it’s well worth it Review Source Loay E. Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "NITRO is the perfect pdf editor " November 18, 2022 5.0 Nitro solves every thing related for document editing and pdf conversion. Pros Every thing that nitro offers makes it the best choice . Cons Nothing special you will miss in comparison to the advantages. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Stay away from this one. Support is AWFUL and the current version crashed windows explorer" May 20, 2022 3.0 is a good program when it works but if you have any issues with their product you will need to figure it out yourself or uninstall because their support is worthless and if the program is a developer issue you would be better off throwing your money in the trash Pros Good PDF editor. Allows to edit files in multiple ways Cons Support is terrible and do not care about their customers. The sales team also has no interest in helping even though support has not replied in over 10 days and their program is crashing our computers multiple times a day. I have multiple licenses with 4 users having their computers crash daily. Other users in the community have also confirmed that they are having the same issues. They easily could've downgraded our program for now until they fix these issues however their sales team failed to acknowledge the request. Review Source RL Raju L. Assistant Professor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Comprehensive Review of Nitro PDF" February 21, 2023 5.0 is a comprehensive PDF editor and converter that offers several useful features for users. However, its high resource requirements and limited mobile support may be a drawback for some users. Pros 1\. Comprehensive editing tools: provides a comprehensive set of editing tools, including the ability to add, delete, and modify text, images, and pages. Users can also add annotations, bookmarks, and watermarks to their PDF files.2. User-friendly interface: Nitro PDF features a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for users to navigate the software and quickly find the tools they need.3. Integration with other software: Nitro PDF integrates with several other popular software programs, such as Microsoft Office and Dropbox, making it easy to import and export files. Cons 1\. High resource requirements: requires a significant amount of system resources to run smoothly. This can be a problem for users with older computers or those who are running other resource-intensive software programs.2. Limited mobile support: Nitro PDF has limited mobile support, which means that users may have trouble accessing their PDF files on mobile devices. Review Source MM Masuzyo M. IT Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nitro PDF. A Great Alternative" January 28, 2022 5.0 Initially, we were looking for an easy to use, affordable PDF editing and conversion tool. Luckily we came across Nitro and rest was history. We're easily able to edit, scan, convert and perform OCR on numerous PDF documents with great satisfaction and ease. Pros An easy to use software for editing PDF files and documents. It's straight forward user interface makes it easy to find your way around the software's numerous features. It's essentially more affordable that similar software on the market that basically offer the same features. Cons Desktop application is not compatible with Mac computers Review Source WK Waleed K. Senior Procurement Engineer - Facilities Management Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A useful tool for everyone that simplifies the procedures for merging and modifying documents" March 9, 2022 5.0 Nitro saved so much time, effort and paper that in the past it was printed more than once without any value. With Nitro we were able to collaborate on reviews without using paper, combine reports and add comments into a single copy, and most importantly to me, saving us a great deal of time and effort doing this in multiple applications. Pros Using Nitro saves us from having to print a lot of unnecessary documents, which saves a lot of time and money. When it comes to digitally editing papers, Nitro provides all the tools you need, as we can easily mark up and save papers, contracts, and drawings in the format and font size we desire. Nitro is a valuable and indispensable tool when preparing contracts, copying bids, and merging reports in PDF format, so that we can easily share and attach them via email. Notes can be passed between departments with Nitro, which saves time and paper especially when each department works in charge of its own note-taking. An organized, prepared and signed digital copy is important to simplify the documentation and archiving processes for all types of documents. Cons There is no room to mention anything negative about Nitro, as it is a very easy to use tool and performs its functions very flexibly. Review Source Santiago A. Co Editor Chief Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Using pdf has never been so easy." January 18, 2019 5.0 In the world of digital work, PDF documents come and go, in many opportunities, I receive information necessary to complete presentations but being in that format is difficult, that was before using Nitro, now I have the possibility of editing all the files that come to me in PDF format, as well as being able to create my own PDF files without limitations. The other benefit is the savings in my finances, applications or similar tools you get at higher prices than those offered by Nitro, so I highly recommend its implementation if you work in catalogs, reports, budgets, digital books, your memories, among others, Nitro's capabilities are lost sight of. Pros Of the things that I like most about Nitro, is that I can do multiple actions with the digital documents that come to me, or with those I believe. I can edit any content and offer it under the protection standards that I decide to put on it. Apart from the Nitro format, it adapts easily to any other system, another element that makes me feel when I use it. Another factor that has offered me that very few in the market can match, is the digital signature, thanks to that I have been able to transmit files with the support of my signature without being physically anywhere else, be it national or international, a very functional innovation. In addition, you can count on the support of the company in other areas such as the cloud, now imagine that so many other things you can do, I am very happy with everything that Nitro offers me. Cons I have been using their services for several years and I am pleasantly satisfied, I have not had problems since I decided to invest in their platform, but I think that it can improve the price offer for new and old customers, it is not a factor that determines my use or not, in my case does not apply, but for entrepreneurs who do not have the right time, it may be different. Review Source CY Calvin Y. Project Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A very robust pdf software" September 5, 2021 5.0 Nitro is able to do everything I expect it to. I use it to read, manage, edit and review documents all the time and have never had cause to complain. Pros Nitro is a complete package when it comes to managing pdf documents. It is able to convert files to pdf almost immediately (even for medium to large documents), edit documents, and easily add in notes and comments to facilitate team collaboration. Cons Text searching does not always work as expected. Beyond that, I haven't had any other issues with it.
