Customer Reviews:

Get Adobe Acrobat [Posted on 2006-09-18]
This software is billed as completely compatible with the PDF document format. Unfortunately, it is not. It will suffice for an occasional text document, but not for a complicated layout, or for publishing forms.

Radio buttons, check boxes do not render correctly. One cannot use OpenType or Type 2 fonts in editing. The program frequently hangs and crashes resulting in unrecoverable documents. There also is inconsistent application of tools in dialog boxes, many hard-to-find functions, and disorganized menus.

The plus is that customer service is fast, but their solution is to wait for the next version. I am taking advantage of their 30-day money back guarantee.

Disappointed - Going back to Acrobat : ( [Posted on 2007-02-16]
I am going to return the product to Nitropdf. I might consider it in the future if they can fix flaws in the program that are absolutely necessary and a few features that need to be addressed. I don't mean to rant so I'll keep my comments to a minimum.

The program will not read any file created by Adobe Acrobat files - a major nuisance. I had to install Acrobat Reader to view my old files.

No spell check and none planned - a major headache. Tech support recommended that I "cut and paste" the copy into MS Word to check spelling.

The program "crashes" from time to time.

When I insert a stamp on a document, the box around the stamp displays a red line if you click on it. This happens even if I lock the stamp. It doesn't look professional.

There are several levels of conversion quality but table boxes in Word 2003 were of varying thicknesses in medium quality mode.

Conversion to Word 2003 is not good. Every line is in a text box.

No index to search the in the manual.

To find out it's for you, I suggest you get the trial version and try it out. Also, check the support forum on their web site for other useful insights on the product.

Don't buy this version [Posted on 2007-09-06]
See my review on version 5. I own both versions and version 5 is much better than version 4 which I upgraded to version 5. No more problems with printing with version 5.

5.3 Very Buggy Crashs Qucikly !!!! [Posted on 2008-01-11]
Whenever I try to convert PDF to DOC it crashes right away!
Support ignores you.
Very nice UI, but it has to work too before I pay!

Sorry guys, nice try, but it has to work better than this.
Test it BEFORE you buy.

license registration fails; won't uninstall - miserable experience [Posted on 2008-03-26]
Nitro PDF Pro registered copy commences license failure warnings after 2 months. Now I want to uninstall it and cannot. It attempts to validate install in order to uninstall, so I am now a hostage to this POC software. Overall, I feel ripped off and the pdf functionality is cheap and limited for $80.
