CNET Editors' review
Nitro Pro 7's interface has been completely redesigned with the ribbon-style navigation of Microsoft Office 2010. If you're familiar with ribbon tabs, then zipping around Nitro should be a breeze. On the other hand, if you're new to this style of navigation, it could take some time to get acquainted. The top-level tabs include File, Home, Edit, Review, Forms, Protect, and Help. Click on any one to reveal a row of buttons below it. It's all pretty intuitive, and each tool is accompanied by an icon, which makes for an enjoyably straightforward experience.
As for the guts of the program, Nitro Pro 7 offers all of the functionality you would expect from a complete PDF package. It makes it very easy to create, convert, insert, edit, review, secure, and sign PDF files. Plus, it supports Microsoft DMS, comes with a Web browser plug-in, can show or hide OCG layers, and can redact text, images, and pages securely.
The convert function works perfectly, allowing you to convert batches of PDFs to Word or Excel files, images, or even plain text. There's also a Stamp Signature tool, which captures, stores, and overlays your handwritten signature on PDF files, and even password-protects your saved signatures so other users can't gain access.
Overall, we think Nitro Pro 7 provides just about everything you could ask for from an all-in-one PDF solution. With its rich feature set and intuitive interface, it makes simple PDF manipulation a snap, and it gives you the power to add stamps, watermarks, and security to your documents.
Publisher's Description
From Nitro PDF Software:
Nitro PDF Professional, the complete Adobe Acrobat alternative, enables you to do more with PDF through powerful tools to create, convert, edit, combine, secure, annotate, form-fill, and save 100% industry-standard PDF files.
Export text and images from PDF files for reuse in other applications, creating files that are highly editable and retain the look and feel of the original. Generate files with well-formatted, correctly-justified and easy-to-edit paragraphs.
Turn tabular content into editable tables, including complex and irregular tables that other converters can't. Convert vector-based images into scalable objects in Microsoft Word, wherever possible. Summarize all comments so you can view them alongside page content, either on screen or on paper. Use a customizable grid to layout objects, such as form fields and links, faster and more precisely.
What's new in this version:
- Paragraph Text Editing. Edit text within paragraph blocks -- like you would in a word processing application -- with automatic reflow and formatting. Easily reformat, resize, and change text and font attributes.
- Digital Signature Profiles. Create profiles for rapid, single-step application of digital signatures -- a huge timesaver for frequent users of this functionality, or documents requiring multiple signatures.
- QuickSign. Digitally apply or "stamp" your handwritten ... See all new features

"Best PDF converter available"
Version: Nitro PDF Professional (32-bit) 7.0.1.2
Pros
Easy to use, simple to convert docs, excel, images etc to pdf, many useful functions. Have been using Nitro PDF Pro for a couple of years now, after trying all the free ones available. Does everything you need without the Adobe price tag.
Cons
Only issue I have and don't know if its the same with all pdf converters, is the pdf convert to text. Each paragraph is converted as a seperate text box so can be time consuming if you want to edit the text.
As said above, this may be the same with all pdf converters.Summary
Great tool, great price.

"Great price and user-friendly."
Version: Nitro PDF Professional (32-bit) 7.0.1.2
Pros
Simple to use, fully functional, fast and lightweight. Very impressive relative to Adobe Acrobat
Cons
Nothing so far.
Summary
This software seems to have been built completely differently to Adobe Acrobat. All of the functionality that I need is there, but it is much easier to find and simpler to use. I finally decided to dump Acrobat and managed to buy this for less than I would have had to pay for the upgrade to the most recent version of Adobe's product. Nitro are really shaking up the PDF space

"WENT BACK TO FOXIT READEER"
Version: Nitro PDF Professional (32-bit) 7.0.1.2
Pros
NONE. There are better options available!
Cons
I tried the previous version of this, after reading what were almost "rave" reviews by CNET.
I found it to be vastly over rated. In fact, I didn't care for it at all!!
YOU CAN'T BEAT FOXIT READER! I suggest you try it also! -

"All of my PDF needs in one place - Bravo Nitro!"
Version: Nitro PDF Professional (32-bit) 7.0.1.2
Pros
Full functionality and very easy to use. This is a huge upgrade over the previous version. OCR and redaction are now included, which brings this in line with Adobe Acrobat. Thankfully they both perform very well. The paragraph editing feature is a smart and useful addition too.
Cons
A mac version would complete the picture!
Summary
I have used a whole array of different PDF software programs over the years - Adobe, Foxit and Nitro being the best known. Previously, I have had to compromise for our business's PDF needs as Adobe was too expensive and monolithic, Nitro was missing some features and Foxit too busy, messy and invasive. Nitro started heading in the right direction with their reader, and it took them a while to update this program. Thankfully it was time well spent, as I now have a solution I can use pretty much across the board.
