Nitro Reader lets you create PDF files, collaborate and review, fill and save forms, add text to pages, QuickSign™ documents, view PDF files in your Web browser, and more...

Viewing & ease of use

Some applications leave you trying to guess what a feature actually does, while searching endless drop-down menus just to find it.

Utilizing the Ribbon interface, tasks and tools are separated into tabs, grouped by functionality, and represented graphically. Simple, explanatory tooltips appear when you hover over a button, so you always know exactly what you're doing.

With Nitro Reader, you can stop guessing — and start working.

Create PDF Files

Start controlling the way you distribute documents and information.

Nitro Reader’s PDF creation lets you quickly convert any printable file to PDF — directly from the native application, or from within Nitro Reader with the click of a button.

All PDF files created from Nitro Reader are 100% compatible with other leading PDF readers and editors, giving you the power to control the way people view and access your work with a standardized and secure way to distribute your documents.

Collaborate & Review

With tools to highlight, cross-out, and underline text, as well as the ability to add sticky notes anywhere within a document, Nitro Reader will have you looking at your red pen in a very different light.

Need to expand on a particular paragraph, or add text that wasn't included in first place? Use Nitro Reader to type text directly onto the page, anywhere you need to.

QuickSign™ Documents

Nitro Reader lets you import your handwritten signature as a stamp to electronically sign and return documents in seconds.

Ever tried to fill out a PDF form that requires your signature? Then you’re probably familiar with the “Print, Sign, Scan, Send” workflow. Now, you can QuickSign™ your documents in seconds without ever leaving the application.

Compatibility & Protection

With Nitro Reader, you can keep viewing and accessing PDF files originating from just about anywhere. You can just do more with them.

Expect 100% compatibility with Adobe® Acrobat® — and every other common solution — with support for all PDF files up to and including the current standard (v1.7). Markup and review that document you just received, and your friend or colleague can see every sticky note, highlight, and underline you made, in Adobe Reader or just about anything else.

Control the way you and your documents interact with the Web and rich functionality – like JavaScript™ -- with a range of security preferences to customize for your needs.
