### "Powerful and Professional" — 5.0/5

> **David** | *30 May 2026* | Business Supplies & Equipment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Some of the features I like most about NitroPDF are the customization option, document signing and value for the money.
> 
> **Cons**: The only issue I might complain about is the learning curve. There are a lot of features and although they ribbon is well organized, sometimes you need to really dig to find a feature. The optimization feature could be better. It does not shrink files as much as others.
> 
> I have tried several PDF tools, both free and paid versions and I have chosen NitroPDF as my go to application.

### "Good software but avoid the company." — 2.0/5

> **Colin** | *13 February 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It works well and fulfilled all my needs for many years., but when I needed to transfer the licence from one laptop to another things fell apart.
> 
> **Cons**: Incorrect information from support, quick to take money for a licence impossible to get it back when they fail to provide the software.
> 
> Steer clear of this company, support is useless and the website just sends you round and round in everlasting circles, passing the buck from one company to another and back again.

### "Nitro PDF is a Great Program and Very Comparable to Adobe" — 5.0/5

> **Renee** | *19 February 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really enjoy the comprehensive features that assist with work efficiency and integration with Microsoft programs. I love the digital signature and document modification features the most.
> 
> **Cons**: I really wish that Nitro PDF would have a simpler and more efficient way of moving pages in large documents. I also think that the text box editing feature could use improvement to help in ease of formatting.
> 
> Overall, I find that working in Nitro PDF is user friendly and assists in work efficiency.  The E-signature request feature helps facilitate a smoother workflow by allowing users to send requests for electronic signatures directly from the document.
