CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on May 21, 2009
PDF conversion is an essential part of business. A program that quickly and easily does the job is always in demand. Unfortunately, Nitro PDF Professional doesn't live up to these high expectations.
Nitro begins very promisingly. It has a start-up wizard that offers to answer any questions and walk users through the process of converting files to PDF, or vice versa. The program's interface is also fairly simple. It looks a great deal like Adobe's PDF viewer, with similar buttons along the top for key commands and formatting options. The most prominent commands are those that convert existing documents to PDFs. We were happy to see several conversion options neatly laid out, including one that offers to convert a group of different documents to PDF all at once. Three smaller buttons offer to convert PDF to Word format, PDF to rich text, and PDF to text file.
We had great success converting an existing PDF to a Word doc. A simple file tree located the PDF and a simple series of steps converted it quickly. Our results were far more disappointing when trying to convert the other way around, though. Upon trying to convert a Word doc and a Text file to PDF, the program gave us an error message about the printer not functioning, which resulted in the cancellation of the operation. Subsequent tests returned the same results. There's a short, 14-day trial for Nitro PDF Professional. Users looking for an effective tool to handle multiple conversions to and from PDF format should keep looking. Nitro only works one way, and that isn't enough.

Version: Nitro PDF Professional 5.5.1
"The program works, but with several issues."
Pros: I have successfully made a pdf from word docs in Windows 7.
Cons: MS Docs with WordArt images are changed when converted, some pdf files are not compressed as well as hoped (large file sizes), and st times the program has crashed when printing to pdf.
Summary: This program is the first pdf program I've found that does (occasionally) work with Windows 7, unfortunately, some formatting issues have been found, and the file sizes are not well compressed. I cannot recommend this program for Windows 7 users.

Version: Nitro PDF Professional 5.5.1
"Run away from this product Version 6.0.0.29 the Latest"
Pros: Fairly easy to use. Can create forms in a reasonable amount of time.
Cons: The program keeps on crashing.
Tabbing order is fine but when ou save several fields are skipped over.
30 day Technical Support is not enough when the program does not work as advertised.
Several emails to technical support have not been answered.Summary: Overal you get what you pay for a very poor piece of software. If the program would work I would be very happy but when Technical Support can not be bothered to return emails what good is it?
My experience is based on a 2 page form t... read more >> -

Version: Nitro PDF Professional 5.5.1
Pros: Need it to edit some things on PDF files.
Cons: Cost more online than the store.
Summary: DO NOT PURCHASE ONLINE. I REPEAT DO NOT! they will charge extra for an actual CD, some upgrade charges, and international fee. It's also hard to contact Nitro PDF company itself especially if you wanted a refund. Most likely you'll get a decline. I ... read more >>

Version: Nitro PDF Professional 5.5.1
Pros: Snazzy advertising graphics make it easy to spend your money on this product.
Cons: Beware of solicitations by this company to sell updates that do not materialize. Yes, they bill your credit card stating a release is forthcoming within the next week, but it doesn't appear.
Summary: Choose a firm that actually provides you with a product after taking your money.

Version: Nitro PDF Professional 5.5.1
Pros: The idea seems very good, with very interesting features, some that are not available with Acrobat Reader.
Cons: If this software would be any slower it would run backwards... at least on my acer aspireone.
