Nitro PDF Pro User Reviews

Needs keyboard support

Even just a Cmd + F for search would be huge. If you do add Cmd + F, please allow Esc to cancel the search.

iPad V14 is worse

I can’t markup/draw on a pdf that has editing disabled but markups enabled on the v14 version. Tried going to the website, community forum, submitting an issue, to no avail. Frustrated that there is no phone or live chat for customer support on technical issues.

Does not save documents

I can not save documents after editing… don like it…

PDFPEN USER

I cannot see any way to rotate a pdf received in landscape view. The help pages do not apply to iPad. I will not keep my trial subscription unless it allows me to edit PDFs. That was how is billed. I have PDF Pen on my Mac and it very good.

Won’t start without full purchase.

On startup the only option is to pay in full or shut it down. Also, the list of features given on the Purchase screen lack several key capabilities advertised. None of the comments listed are positive.

I was a paid user of PDFpen Pro for 8 years, but going to pass on this one.

Not working in IOS 17 pre release

Works as expected on IOS 15.7.7 on iPad Air 2, but fails to open files for viewing or editing on IOS 17 pre release on iPad Pro 10.5.

A major let down, don’t waste your money.

I bought this thinking it would at least have the same basic functions as the windows app. It doesn’t. I can’t even create a table of contents from within the app (the main reason I bought this) or a basic fillable form. There is no support for this app to be found and the User Guide requires an internet connection. Skip this one, it’s not worth the hassle and is a major disappointment. I wish I could get my money back.

Program freezes up, fails to save after deleting pages in PDF

To whom it may concern,
After trying to edit a PDF recently, the simple task of deleting two pages in an existing PDF document, caused the program to crash or I would received a “save failure” error message, if I did manage to get it the delete the pages.

Additionally, when trying to share a document to another folder on the iOS device I would receive a “save error” message.

I finally had to come up with some other workarounds using other programs to simply finish the task of the deleting two to page within a PDF. I purchased this program shortly after your company acquired pdf pen.

Overall the program’s interface when it does work and is not freezing up is cumbersome and not very intuitive to use.

Superior PDF handling, & economical

I purchased it for my Macs, and use the free Reader (which has considerable editing functions, including flattening) on my one Windows machine. Greatly satisfactory in both environments.
