The program also imports pages directly from your scanner, while an I.R.I.S.-based extension (now included as standard in all versions) performs basic OCR.

Creating a PDF file from Word, Excel or PowerPoint was as easy as clicking the Create PDF button on our Office 2010 ribbon. Nitro Pro 7 can also optionally integrate with Microsoft Office 2003 and later. The program’s virtual printer driver, for instance, allows you to create PDFs from any application, customising their layout, metadata, resolution, compression and font options, password protection, document restrictions (only allowing low-res printing, say) and encryption: it’s an excellent tool, powerful yet also easy to use. You’ll probably want to start by creating a PDF files or two, and Nitro Pro 7 provides many ways to make this happen. This seems like a very good deal – but what you do really get for your money? We took a closer look. And yet you can buy it for less than half the price of the Adobe package, a very reasonable-sounding $99.99.

The program then goes beyond Adobe’s Acrobat X Standard with new redaction capabilities, more powerful in-place image editing, Evernote integration and more. Nitro Pro 7 allows you to create, convert, view, edit and collaborate on PDF files, is packed with high-end annotation options, includes powerful form design features, and many security options. You could spend big money on Adobe Acrobat, of course. If you’re looking to create your own PDF files, though, edit any part of an existing document, work with PDF forms, and perhaps integrate with document management systems, then you’ll need something considerably more powerful. A virtual printer driver here, a conversion tool there, a PDF viewer with simple annotation features – it’s surprising what you can achieve. If you need to work with Adobe PDF files then you could cobble together a basic solution from free tools.
