"Straightforward, User-Friendly PDF Editing with Handy OCR and Office Integration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Nitro PDF?

I use Nitro PDF to create, edit, convert, and sign PDF documents, and I was able to get started quickly because the interface feels straightforward and user-friendly. I especially like being able to add handwritten notes to PDFs, which comes in handy when I’m reviewing technical documents or sharing feedback.

It also simplifies day-to-day tasks like combining multiple files, converting PDFs into Word or Excel, and handling scanned documents with OCR. The integration with Microsoft Office and cloud storage adds another layer of convenience and makes document management easier overall.

I also appreciate the 14-day free trial that doesn’t require a credit card, since it lets users explore the features before committing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nitro PDF?

Honestly, I don’t have many complaints about Nitro PDF. It works well for most of my day-to-day tasks and generally does what I need without much hassle. The main issues I’ve noticed are that some of the more useful features are only available with a paid plan, and it can feel a bit slow when I’m working with larger PDF files. I also think the pricing could be more reasonable. Aside from those points, I’m happy with the overall experience and how it performs for everyday use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nitro PDF solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nitro PDF makes handling everyday documents much easier for me in my work as a software engineer. For instance, when I’m reviewing a project requirements document shared as a PDF, I use it to highlight key sections, add handwritten notes, make text corrections, and share my feedback with the team. I also rely on it to combine multiple files into a single document and to convert PDFs into Word or Excel formats when needed.

The OCR feature is especially useful when I’m dealing with scanned documents. On top of that, password protection and redaction help me manage sensitive information more confidently. Overall, having all of these tools in one place saves me time and reduces the need to switch between multiple applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
