11/6/2022 0 Comments Nitro pro reviews![]() ![]() I don’t have much to say on this yet as I haven’t played around with it, so watch for a future post. Nitro has released their Nitro Cloud service, which allows you to take your documents online. When you have it how you want it, you can create the PDF and it will all be nicely merged. Just add PDF documents and move around the order. If you have to build a PDF out of a number of other documents, the Visual File Combination palette can be very helpful. If you want to be even more secure, Nitro can apply a proper digital signature using a certificate. Nitro allows you to capture your signature either by scanning a piece of paper, capturing it with your webcam, or it will generate a handwritten signature using a QuickSign font. I have posted about this on DocumentSnap many times, but there are few things more annoying than needing to sign a document and having to print it out, sign it, then fax it or scan and email it back. It will then go through the whole document and remove everything that matches my search. If I want to be extra sure that I have redacted everything, I can do a Search and Redact. The information is now permanently removed from the PDF. I can send the PDF to someone who needs to approve that redaction, or I can Apply it myself. I have highlighted the name with the Redaction Tool. In this example, I want to go 1984-style and wipe out the name Paul J Bowman from the company history. This is helpful if you are going to be sharing the PDF with someone, or if you want to remove private data before uploading the PDF to a cloud service. Many people don’t realize that even if you use an annotation tool to “block out” that information (for example, a Social Security number or credit card number), it may still exist in the PDF.Ī Redaction tool gives the ability to permanently wipe out the sensitive information. Redact Sensitive InformationĪ PDF can have information that you don’t want others to see. Handy if you want to save things to Evernote that you are working with. ![]() There is an Export To Evernote option that will take the current PDF and open it up in the Evernote local client. I don’t know what Elven magic they have going on in the background, but in my experience the results has been excellent. Nitro does the best job that I have seen at converting PDF documents to Word. ![]() Most of the times the results has been “OK” at best and disastrous at worst. I have worked with many tools over the years that try to convert a PDF to a Word document. I want to specifically mention exporting to Word. There is an export bar that lets you export to a number of formats including Word, Excel, Powerpoint, RTF, and you can extract the text out of a PDF and save it as a plain text document. Just because you are working with a PDF doesn’t mean that you want the end result to be in PDF format. If you are someone who needs to compare different documents, this tool could be worth the price all on its own. I marked up a document and changed some of the text (more on that later), and the compare tool found all my changes and gave a summary. It will then show you where the differences are. If you have two PDFs, you can quickly compare either the text of the document or the general look. Nitro Pro 9 has many features, but I am just going to pick out a few of them that I think would be handy for going paperless. However, if you are a Windows user that manipulates PDFs, converts them, and generally needs to make them work for you, Nitro is definitely worth a look. If you are a home user and all you ever do with PDFs is view them and print them out, then Nitro is probably not something you need to go paperless. You can create & combine PDFs, edit them, make them searchable with OCR, sign them, mark them up, and upload them to the cloud. I’m not sure who hands out that designation, but it is definitely an application that lets you do almost anything with PDF documents. They call it “the official PDF solution for productivity”. Nitro Pro is an application for working with PDFs. It looked great, so I decided to annoy the Nitro folks on Twitter until they agreed to hook me up with a review copy of Nitro Pro 9 to check out. You can view documents easily enough, but you need to look elsewhere if you want to actually do something useful with them.Ī while ago, awesome DocumentSnap reader Sherri-Lee Mathers from Balsam Way Bookkeeping turned me on to a program that she relies on for her paperless practice: Nitro Pro. There are many good things about Microsoft Windows, but the ability to work with PDF documents is not one of them. ![]()
