Review Summary: Nitro PDF Professional is the most affordable fully-featured PDF creation and editing tool there is, and is the first true alternative to Acrobat® for serious users of PDF. If PDF usage is prevalent in your office, Nitro PDF Pro should find a place in your toolbox.
Strengths: Nitro PDF Professional gives you all the features of PDF at an extremely competitive price.
Weaknesses: Not compliant with Vista 64, though a compatible version should be available soon.
Nitro PDF Professional lets you quickly and easily create high-quality PDF files from more than 300 file types, and all the PDFs you create are 100% compatible with all PDF viewers, including Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
Nitro Pro's integration into Windows means you can convert common file types, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher and Visio, without ever having to open the original application - you just select the files to convert from a folder and then with one click convert them all to PDF files.
As a PDF editor, Nitro PDF Professional gives you the complete tool set to edit any text, graphics, pages, security, links, bookmarks, and metadata contained in your PDF files, allowing you to prepare PDF files that are ready and optimized for distribution. Best of all, with Nitro PDF Professional you can edit documents made from any PDF creation tool, including those originally produced in Adobe Acrobat.
Also included is a comprehensive set of plug-ins that we have found really beneficial. For example, the Optimize Document feature (like the PDF Optimizer in Acrobat) dramatically reduces the size of large PDFs without compromising quality.
Nitro PDF Professional is the only true alternative to Adobe Acrobat for people who want to be able to edit and create interactive PDFs.
