This program is incredibly versatile, reliable, and works with acceptable speed. Often loads up ten, fifteen or more tabs and still maintains good speed. In addition, from time to time I need to print pages with form and serial numbers at the bottom, and those must print properly, or the forms cant be used for legal reasons. When the pages wont print properly from the programs that originally general them yes I know about setting the printer to fit to page etc. I have learned to print them to Nitro, and then print from Nitro. Problem solved. Every time. Those are just some of the reasons I give Nitro a 5 Star rating. If I could rate it more highly, I would. Cons. Only one con The company hasnt sent me tickets to the Super Bowl. I havent asked. Actually, I cant think of any cons. Great program Summary. Great Program Cant go wrongReply to this review.

External reviewers seem to question the programs usefulness if they had no need to create PDF files, why did they download it Lack of support and inability to uninstall are more concerning. Summary. I will have to pass on this until something more definitive is provided that removes the doubts created in this piece. Reply to this review. Read replies 2Was this review helpful 1. Reply by 5girls. Dad on January 2. Ive been using this program for several years, and like it much better than more expensive programs I own when doing routine work such as printing to from PDF files, filling forms, adding a pre signed signature, and much more. I continue to recommend to friends, and they have in turn thanked me for informing them of such a great free program. Even though I know there is a paid version, I use my more expensive programs for those features. Ive wondered if I shouldnt ditch the more expensive programs and go pro with Nitro. Its that good.

For me, performance has been flawless. One of my friends went to download Nitro, and accidentally clicked on an advertisement for another program on the download page. Ive wondered if that may be where some of the negative reviews are sourced. The ads are sometimes fashioned to lure someone into clicking on an entirely different program with some similarities in name andor function. Reply by 5girls. Dad on January 2.
