### "Difficult to use..."

October 14, 2019

5.0

Overall, I'd recommend Adobe over Nitro - much more user friendly and simpler.

Pros

I like that I can edit PDF files SOMETIMES but I dislike when it doesn't allow me to make the change

Cons

It's particular about edits and seems to have way more functions than I feel necessary as compared..

### "Nitro allows me to edit pdf files at work"

February 8, 2018

3.0

updating and editing pdf files

Pros

I can scan in old documents/forms and edit them for current use. Nitro can do a few things that I'm unable to do and Adobe and visa versa. It has been very valuable for updating contracts, etc.

Cons

It can be difficult to line up typing with the line I want it on although they have made improvements over the years.

### "Nitro"

September 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy to use and integrates to outlook easily enough. PDF is one of the most requested documents so it is great to have a tool that can produce them for training documents etc in work.

Cons

Slows down my outlook and increases the load time by almost 5x.

### "Nitro"

November 8, 2019

5.0

I use nitro pretty much on a daily basis to combine and edit PDFs for electronic filing.

Pros

Nitro is very useful when editing PDFs. The software also allows you to convert files between PDF and word and makes combining PDFs easy.

Cons

It can sometime be hard to navigate ad when you are trying to type into the PDF it can be hard to get it to line up.

### "Great for Unlocking Locked PDFs "

September 10, 2019

4.0

My experience was great. Nitro provided me with a work around to a problem, not necessarily a solution. It did get the job done and helped me more forward with other important tasks.

Pros

I would use Nitro to unlock secure PDFs by printing the locked PDF with Nitro. This was extremely helpful to me in my line of work. Without Nitro it was not possible to preform certain functions of my job.

Cons

I didn't use Nitro for anything other than unlocked secured PDFs. For what I needed it for it worked great. No cons to report.

### "Superb PDF program"

January 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

I appreciate how easy it is to add a digitally superimposed signature to PDF documents. This makes contracts and other related documents a breeze.

Cons

I wish there were a way to open separate PDFs in separate windows, rather than separate tabs. It's a small thing, but would be helpful.

### "Boost your life with Nitro!"

August 31, 2019

5.0

Nitro is amazing! Easy to use, full featured... What more do you want?

Pros

Hmmm... I think that the thing I like the most about Nitro is how easy it is to use, and also very fast.

Cons

I can't remember anything, really. It does whatever other pieces of software of the same type do, for way less.

### "Nitro"

October 5, 2018

5.0

A product that I will recommend to people working with PDF's

Pros

Great product, I use it to read pdf's at work. In our daily routines we usually come across pdf's that should be converted in excel or word docs. With Nitro you can do that easily, you can even correct the pdf as it is, to hide parts of it or to correct data. Many editing options that are great

Cons

No issues with nitro atm, however price is something that you should check and see if it matches your expectations

### "Excellent for editing PDFs"

May 17, 2018

4.0

I really recommend Nitro, it is such a complete PDF software, it works wonders both as a reader and an editing software.

Pros

Nitro is an excellent PDF reader, but where it really shines is in it's editing tools, I have used it to flip pages when they get messy or mostly to transform sections of a document either to word or excel which saves a lot of time when reusing a information that is on your PDF

Cons

Sometimes it's word conversion can get really messy if it has a signature or if there is some type of stamp in the document.

### "A good low cost alternative to Adobe"

April 11, 2021

4.0

A very good low cost alternative to Adobe Acrobat with good features.

Pros

The licensing is much cheaper and far easier to deal with than Adobe. It is also more reliable than Adobe Acrobat, in the years of using this we never had any issues with installs going wrong or random error messages unlike Adobe Acrobat.

Cons

They are missing a few usefult features that Adobe Acrobat has such as automatically detecting where you want to put editable fields on a document.

### "One of the best PDF editors"

January 16, 2023

5.0

Nitro has helped me edit and read PDF's easily and without problems, for me it is one of the best PDF readers.

Pros

What I like most about Nitro is that you can turn your PDF into something more. The features such as blurring and editing are very convenient, easy to use and share.

Cons

What I liked least about this software was that the feature Quick Sign did not work for me, because when I tried to add it to the documents it did not show.

Exporting to Ms Office format better than Acrobat.

### "Poor quality report"

May 18, 2021

2.0

Overall it is what it is. It was free with my training program so I got what I paid for.

Pros

It was free. That's really about it. I can't think of anything else.

Cons

The software was easy enough to use, but the quality of the report that it produced was very very low. I used it on a few trial inspections and knew right away I couldn't present that low of quality to my clients.
