Nitro Reader 3: An Awesome Free PDF Creator and Reader

August 14, 2013

PDF documents are great when you want to share documents that will display in the same format when others open them, maybe on another platform such as a Mac device. Its also great to use when you want to add annotations, hyperlinks, or bookmarks and share them via email or on the Web.  Whatever be the case, when you want to view or edit a PDF document, you usually look to programs like Adobe, the first name in PDF creation. Adobe in quite an expensive proposition, and for those of you looking for alternatives, I chanced upon a rather nifty free program called Nitro Reader 3, which I think you’ll love. Here is my review.

Nitro Reader 3: Review

Nitro reader

Nitro Reader is a robust program packed with loads of good features. At the same time, it has a minimalistic interface that’s easy to use. In fact, if you are familiar with using an Office 2010 program, you will be right at home with Nitro Reader.

The Interface

Nitro Ribbon Interface

Nitro Reader has a Ribbon type interface with three tabs; Home, Advanced and Help. You’ll find all frequently used commands at the most convenient place at the top of the document and useful contextual groups of commands when you work on text or images as the case may be. It also includes the Tabs feature which is ideal for users who work on multiple documents and frequently switch between them.

Creating Documents

Nitro Reader lets you create PDFs from over 300 different file types and from just about any Windows application. The tool features three preset modes for ready-made publishing such as for the Web, for Office, or for direct Printing. You can also customize the document with the appropriate fonts, page size and orientation to get the appropriate format you want.

Another cool way to create a document is to simply drag a file over the Nitro Reader desktop icon. Finally, you can print directly from the source file itself. Documents created using Nitro Reader are compatible with other PDF readers too.
