Nitro Pro’s interface is tied in closely to Microsoft Office 2013, sporting the same ribbon user interface to provide familiarity for those moving between the two apps.
Throw in form filling, collaboration tools and the ability to combine PDF files from multiple documents, and you have a tool that - if not quite the equal of Adobe Acrobat - is more than capable for most people’s needs at less than a third of the price, even after the latest price rise. Nitro pairs this functionality with a set of powerful editing tools, with both line and paragraph-based text editing possible alongside the ability to swap out or insert images. Version 10 comes with the promise of improved accuracy with text, image and table recognition and adds an automatic de-skew function that aligns images correctly during the scanning process. And if you want to scan in a paper document, Nitro also comes with its own serviceable OCR engine, based on Readiris to ensure the resulting document’s text is editable too. Nitro Pro offers more intuitive PDF creation tools, allowing you to create PDFs from documents like Word that can subsequently be re-edited in Nitro using its own powerful text-editing tools. While free products - including Nitro’s little brother Nitro Reader - can create PDF files from other documents, they typically employ the services of a virtual print driver to produce little more than an image of the original file. Nitro Pro is a powerful tool for creating, editing and converting PDF documents.
This begs the question: are there enough new features and improvements in Nitro Pro 10 to justify a second price hike is as many versions? Having said that, our eyebrows were raised when we discovered the price has gone up again - another $20 for new users, and $10 for those upgrading from versions 8 or 9.
That Nitro Pro 10 isn’t a major new release shouldn’t come as a surprise - it came of age a few years ago now, and the "if it ain’t broke, don't fix it" mantra continues to be a wise one for Nitro to follow.
