Nitro Productivity Suite
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 …
TextSniper
Chose TextSniper
TextSniper is more reliable and secure, you can trust the UI of this software and it's more easy and more fun to use. Rossum is more costly and a very less number of people recommend me to go with Rossum. TextSniper is more popular and has some great features for the users who …

Nitro Productivity SuiteTextSniper
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.

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.

  • TextSniper should think about the other operating system users also
  • the can do some more improvement with OCR file-related text and some more editing and updating features for Mac users

Nitro checks all the boxes for what we need. It is fairly priced, it allows us to read and edit PDF documents, convert PDF to MS Word and convert MS Word to PDF. It allows us to combine multiple files and do all the post processing like adding page numbers and adding headers and footers

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.

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.
