Create, edit, and convert PDF files with the Acrobat alternative
Nitro PDF Professional is one of the most advanced PDF creating and editing software solutions, providing basically all the tools you would ever need to help you in this regard.
Although it's called 'Professional”, the application has been developed to be aimed at beginners and professional users alike, so you won't find it too difficult to use.
The interface is more than pleasant and reminds us of the popular Microsoft Office suite, adopting the same Ribbon GUI interface we've seen in the office suite developed by Microsoft.
And to make sure that users will fully benefit from its very advanced features, developers have designed a help screen that pops out every time you open the interface, giving you the option to find more info on its tools with a single click.
With Nitro PDF Professional you can thus create new PDF files from any document format out there, add comments to PDFs, export text or the entire document, including photos, to another document format, insert images, links and pages into PDF files, secure files and add signatures, design forms and print them.
As said, it is very easy to use Nitro PDF Professional and the ace up its sleeve is definitely the Ribbon GUI we were talking about. Everything seems to be in the right place and although we admit that we're more or less used to Microsoft Office, it's very easy to find a given tool inside the app.
You don't need a super computer to run Nitro PDF Professional, but you may notice some minor slowdowns when running it on older machines.
All in all, Nitro PDF Professional is one of the best PDF tools on the market, that's for sure. It's expensive, that's true, but this it is definitely the Microsoft Office of PDF apps.
Nitro PDF Professional is an affordable, fully-featured PDF creation and editing product. The professional application gives you full control over PDF documents, including creation, commenting, form-filling and authoring, digital signatures, text editing, one-click creation from Microsoft Office and more.
Nitro PDF Desktop is a convenient alternative to Adobe Acrobat for people who want to use PDF.
