Nitro PDF Software, the company that revolutionized the PDF software space with the introduction of the first truly compelling alternative to Adobe® Acrobat®, the award-winning Nitro PDF Professional, today announced the release of Version 2.0 of Nitro PDF Express, the lightning-fast solution for comprehensive PDF creation and conversion.
The announcement follows the release of updated Enterprise and API versions of PrimoPDF, as well as a completely new website, marking yet another extraordinary year not only for PrimoPDF but for Nitro's entire product family. Last month, Nitro's PDF Download, the world's most popular PDF web-browser extension, also reached the 15-million-download mark at Mozilla's Firefox Add-ons website.
Nitro Express provides the power of PDF creation from 200+ file-types, full control over document security, and is the only product in its class with the capability to quickly combine multiple files into one PDF document, or extract individual PDF pages.
With an array of exciting new features, Nitro Express v2.0 includes all-new, industry-leading PDF-to-Word conversion; improved PDF creation technology that performs up to 50% faster; a completely revised user interface; and major improvements to the underlying PDF library for faster processing of all files.
"The latest release of Nitro Express represents a huge development for a previously under-serviced market segment," said Gina O'Reilly, Nitro's SVP of Sales and Marketing. "Very few products at this price point offer a compelling proposition from a feature or usability perspective. Nitro Express, however, provides users with the basic creation, conversion, and security capabilities of our award-winning Nitro Pro - at half the price. The completely revised interface makes it the easiest-to-use, entry-level desktop PDF product on the market today."
