Ratings and reviews

It is not longer as stable as PDFpen Pro. it will often freeze up and is slow to transiontion from hightlighting text to adding annotations. It seems to stick on the last page I was working on of a multi page document and only by quiting or if I wait long enought it will catch up.

Half baked app, difficult to manipulate modifications and output pdf had resized picture which was only a fraction of the total picture I added

By far the best PDF reader I’ve used. No gimmicks. Intuitive interface, and prints files without asking for a money-requiring upgrade!

Nitro acquired PDF Pen and it is carrying on and improving the tool. It's good to see some changes.

Cannot prepare and send a PDF for signing

Nitro PCF used to be called something else then I think it was sold. Before it was sold it would always crash scaning documents of more than, say, 40 pages. Then it improved and now it is back to its old form: crashing frequently or simply failing to communicate acrose our very small LAN. I have a lot of nostalgie for formerly broken software that aspires to set new records of frastration.

The app is very feature rich and power packed but sadly not suited to be my default PDF reader. Every time I open a file with Nitro from Finder, the select a file to open window opens in addition to the file itself. Very annoying. I’m demoting Nitro to be my on-demand PDF editor, not my default PDF app.

Nitro PDF is my go to for advanced use of PDFs. If you need campabilites beyond what is offered in most OSes this is the tool you need. I use it for everything that is beyond like converting documents to text for AI consumption to redacting sensitive infromation.

Great!

v26.0 update OCR Document function crashes everytime on macOS Sequoia, while the previous versions did not. _____________________________ This app was formerly PDFPen Pro. I had been a user of the formerly named app for a few years so I am already familiar with the nuances (e.g., the difference between the tools Edit and Precision Edit, when they should really be combined). Batch OCR of documents is convenient. OCR engine used here is Kofax Omnipage, but I think I prefer the ABBYY finereader engine. A colleague has enjoyed using the Windows version of Nitro for a number of years. The Mac and Win versions are still two very different applications. I hope to see the Mac team adopt some of the Win features, and not just stay a reskin of the old.

OCR is worse than its predecessor PDFPen Pro 13.1. Usability, stability have not been improved at all it seems. At least on my end the performance went down.

I’m trying to do something fairly simple - combine 3 PDFs into 1 document. And while the Nitro App Developer clearly point this out as a feature, it does not exist in the app. I’m running the most recent version of the software, 26.0, and I don’t have the ‘Combine’ buttons that the tutorial shows. I’m guessing they have removed this basic feature. I wonder what else they have removed.

THis app is really buggy. It crashed multiple times when trying to read a pdf. I’m probably going to uninstall.

Pretty good at managing form fields in PDF templates.

Text input fields are not recognized automatically. Moving a text field around feels like a Sisyphus task. Totally agree. Super frustrating to work with. Super buggy. You mark a text. You open the fonts and even though the main font size is set to a particular value, you cannot quickly increase or decrease the font size when you mark an annotated text anywhere in a document. No what else is not working? That's enough already. Stop trying to figure things out after this…

Very buggy, badly designed, very frustrating to work with. Trying to do something as simple as editing text feels like I’m a gladiator fighting in an arena.

After the lates update (26.0) OCR destroys the PDF files. Some pages disappear, others are doubled. Some pages are halved horizontally. I used to like Nitro PDF, but right now the app is completely useless.

converte em docx, mas o aqrquivo apresenta problemas de formatação. Nõa gostei.

good

It’s very finicky for simple pdf updates and signing. The signing does not work well for docs with multiple signatures required
