"Great price and user-friendly."
Version: Nitro Pro (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 Pro (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 Pro (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.

Nitro HAS and ALWAYS will be a BIG FAIL. Been buggy ever since the first version.

"Nightmarish failure of a program."
Version: Nitro Pro (32-bit) 6.2.1.10
Pros
It has a lot of buttons that make it look like it actually does what it advertises, I suppose. Seems to occasionally do OK with VERY short (under 6 page) document conversion. The trial is full-featured (such as it is), so you don't have to waste any money on this joke of a program to see it doesn't do what it claims.
Cons
It doesn't work for longer documents. At all. Crashes, hangs, gives unspecified errors, crashes Windows, or just generally quits in the middle of a task. Truly abysmal.
Summary
I'm an academic and needed to convert a long (60 page) journal article from PDF into Word so that I could do some edits. This program looked promising. Upon opening the document to convert, I thought "oh, I can just hit the 'convert to Word' button!" That worked, but it left me with a Word document filled with bitmap images of the PDF pages, which is entirely useless, and hardly counts as a "conversion" at all. The program informed me that since the pages were images and not editable text, this was the only conversion it could do.
OK, fair enough. I'll try the option that makes the text editable. Upon running this operation, though, the program quits, giving the error that the document is already composed of editable text, and thus cannot be converted. Seems like a bit of a Catch-22, no?
Finally, I try to do a straight OCR and convert it into a new editable PDF, which I then plan to convert to a Word document via a second operation (shouldn't this just be what "Convert to Word" does in the first place?). This time, the operation seems to be working--for a while. It gets about 65% of the way through, and then the program hangs, eventually taking my whole system down with it. I restart, and try again. This time, it doesn't even make it that far before showing a pop-up box that says "Internal error" and just quitting. I restart and try again. This time it makes it about 80% of the way through, and then mysteriously just...stops. It dumps me back to the main document without making any changes or giving any errors, as if I'd never run the operation in the first place.
Several more attempts all yield one of the previous problems: a hang, an unspecified "internal error" quit, or a mysterious cancelling of the operation without an error. Disgusted, I give up and get this abortion of a program off my hard drive.
It's worth mentioning that I was running this on a desktop with Core Duo quad core CPU at 3 GhZ with 6 gigs of RAM, so I don't think the issue is a lack of processing power. While it was trying (and failing) to do the conversions, it consumed roughly half these resources. While I do have a 64-bit OS, this review is for the 32-bit version of the program since, as far as I can tell, the two programs are identical: the 64-bit setup installed a 32 bit program.
