Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
You need a subscription to use Adobe Acrobat. You can pay a one-off license fee to use Nitro.
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
Nitro Productivity Suite is able to perform just as well as Adobe. It uses less resources on my machine than Adobe. I think it is much easier to use than Tungsten as well.
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
[I feel] Nitro doesn't have near the functionality of Adobe but it is significantly cheaper. I'm not sure the savings is worth the frustration.
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
Every 1-2 years will do a check on current PDF options to include trialing the software. Have tried Foxit and several that seem to have failed in the marketplace. Over the last 4 years, I have always stuck with Nitro. Unfortunately, we still need to keep Adobe Acrobat (free …
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
I think Adobe is probably the best PDF solution since they essentially developed and own the PDF format, but Nitro is a very good alternative and is more competitively priced.

If our clients didn't use PDF documents or sent us everything in MS Word, then our Office 365 would be …
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
Nitro Productivity Suite allows a user to accomplish all of the things you would want to do to a document that Adobe does not. Much easier to find the operation you are looking for in Nitro Productivity Suite compared to Adobe
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
Nitro is a more specified app with simple pdf editing use and a low cost.
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
Nitro has probably 10x the features that Adobe does and just does it so much better. Ease of use is profoundly different. I won't ever go back!!
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
At the time, we evaluated Adobe Professional to help with some of the PDF modifications we were needing to accomplish. I didn't see any further options besides Nitro and Adobe that were worth evaluating. When looking at costs and feature comparisons it was a no-brainer.
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
Nitro was more simplistic than Adobe and a much better price
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
I downloaded the trial versions of both Acrobat DC and Nitro PDF, and found Nitro to be superior in price, while Acrobat was superior in software features and user-friendliness. I knew I would be using Nitro for basic publishing and editing of PDFs, which both programs do well, …
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
Features are comparable.
Chose Nitro Productivity Suite
We selected Nitro PDF because the features that the organization needed were comparable and the annual cost for the on-premises version of the application was considerably less expensive at the time. When we selected, Adobe was not yet in the cloud. At that time, there were …

Because I've tested so many, I'm confident in saying that PDFLiner is the best. In addition to the many beneficial features, it's due to the excellent customer
Chose PDFLiner
I use PDFs all the time. The importance of speed and efficiency in my field cannot be overstated. Helps me do both things very effectively. I don't utilize the software's more advanced capabilities very
Chose PDFLiner
Everyone in my department uses PDFLiner. Everything we need to get the work done is included in this team strategy. Allows us to streamline our operations and ensure that everyone is using the same tools. If I had to
Chose PDFLiner
They are both great tools that allow for easy management and creation of PDF files. One advantage PDFLiner has over Foxit PDF Editor is price. Foxit can be very costly which is the reason we stopped using it at the office. Besides from that, both great products to edit PDF files!
Chose PDFLiner
I selected PDFLiner because it was giving a free trial with all its features while ilovePDF has a free version but with limited features. Secondly, PDFLiner has more template forms which was a useful feature for me while ilovePDF has a limitation to it. Thirdly, I feel that …
Chose PDFLiner
We selected PDFLiner more or less to test it out and our team actually did like it. So we decided instead of starting the whole process for another program to stick with it. We use it for all kinds of tasks and we are pretty satisfied with it. There is always room to improve …

Nitro Productivity SuitePDFLiner
Likelihood to Recommend
I run a professional services business from home. I need to edit documents quickly and easily and with minimal subscriptions to minimize overheads. I love that Nitro is a one-off payment to get a license to the software, and you can simply upgrade to the latest version if that's what you want, but you're not obligated to. I've been using the same version of Nitro for 7-8 years now. Despite the fact the upgraded versions have a lot of great, nice-to-have features, the version I'm on still does the job.

The most useful tool I've ever used. The service is just
what I need. With so many PDF files, we can’t make changes to them without the
assistance of other people. Everything I wanted to do took up to five separate
software tools for me to do. This task is best done with PDFLiner, a top-notch
application. Because of this, I can now utilize them all at the same time in
the same piece of software.

Pros
  • Ability to combine files SEAMLESSLY and order them around as necessary (so underrated)
  • Signing not only for yourself but for others. Helpful for those who have been granted the authority to sign for VPs and directors
  • Much easier to use than some other PDF viewing services
Read full review
  • Modifying, adding visual information, and signing PDF documents all require very little time
  • Immediate conversion of non-PDF files to PDF files
  • Change PDF documents into a form that our customers may fill out so that we can gather their feedback on how we can improve our services
  • Gsuite and other cloud-based tools like PDFLiner can be used to edit and sign PDFs

Cons
  • Converting from PDF to Microsoft Word can be complicated at times. Some parts of a document such as tables are not converted properly.
  • Sometimes it appears to be easier to save MS Word documents to PDF rather than using NPS to convert. It can be a bit slow to convert at times.
  • In my view, it wasn't user friendly at the beginning.

  • Some issues with the website's mobile version came to my attention.
  • In some cases, PDF files are difficult to read because of their format. The OCR doesn't always do what I want it to.
  • As of this writing, the editor supports working with JPG, PNG, and PDF files. This list may need a few more entries.

Our department uses PDFLiner to modify PDF format contracts and other documents before sending them to our consumers for e-signing. Not only that, but this program allows access to the templates of over 30 million different sorts of writable agreements, saving us a lot of time and effort.

Every 1-2 years will do a check on current PDF options to include trialing the software. Have tried Foxit and several that seem to have failed in the marketplace. Over the last 4 years, I have always stuck with Nitro. Unfortunately, we still need to keep Adobe Acrobat (free version) installed to view a small percentage of some PDFs we receive.

I've tested so many, I'm confident in saying that PDFLiner is the best. In
addition to the many beneficial features, it's due to the excellent customer
service they provide. How-to blogs for most of the forms and excellent customer
service. It's a huge time saver and a lot of fun at work.

Return on Investment
  • Positive - Cheaper than Adobe
  • Positive - Allows us to modify PDF documents from our clients to submit our proposals.
  • Positive - Allows us to convert PDF documents to MS Word to share with our consultants and others without a PDF editor who contributes to our proposals.
  • Negative - Need to upgrade to get the latest features/versions unlike something like MS/Office 365 where we just get updates automatically and free for the monthly fee. Maybe they will or need to move to a subscription solution versus a product price.

  • It saved thousands of bucks which we use to invest in stationary, giving our company a better ROI using PDFLiner.
