What do you like best about PDFPen by Nitro?

This tool is ideal to fill in and sign these pdf documents that are mailed to us all the time. You can store various signatures in a library, and easily enter text or even correct existing text. The work flow is so much easier than in more massive competing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFPen by Nitro?

Nothing really, the tool delivers as promised. I would not use it for more extensive pdf manipulations, but for small changes or additions to single documents this is ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFPen by Nitro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I receive contracts and letters and other documents to fill in and sign, and rather than printing them out, signing, scanning and mailing, I do the whole thing in one go with this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDFPen by Nitro?

PDFpen Pro is the best replacement for the full Adobe Acrobat I could find. The features included (see upload) are so useful. I have been with PDFpen Pro for several years now, and too many upgrades to mention. It's fulfilling to see a product you use regularly continue to improve and meet the needs of their users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFPen by Nitro?

I don't actually have anything I dislike at this time - they keep making it more functional along with improving the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFPen by Nitro:

I have evaluated a number of PDF applications, and without a doubt PDFpen/PDFpen PRO are the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFPen by Nitro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I frequently need to read and annotate PDF research papers that are downloaded from my research institution. This works better than Adobe at a fraction of the cost. I can also sign and return documents. I've recently discovered a library of stamps and editing marks are included, also!

I also absolutely love that I can create custom highlight colors! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDFPen by Nitro?

The OCR recognition tool is reliable and used by our firm on a daily basis for client files that are oftentimes scanned in via physical paper.This is definitely the best alternative to Acrobat Pro. It is indeed a workhorse. I am a new user of PDFpenPro but have also used Adobe Acrobat and other competing apps. Other apps have better marketing, but PDFpenPro really gets the job done. For instance, with PDFpenPro, I can create interactive forms, apply digital signatures, batch OCR, and with the latest version, view the same document in two screens! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFPen by Nitro?

No major complaint about the product. Only minor inconvenience I have noticed is the Inability to upgrade to the Pro version if the originally accessed through SetApp (subscription-based).

increase in paid upgrades. Used to be thrilled with this product, but it seems that we're getting too little for the last couple "major" updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFPen by Nitro:

Go with the PRO version and fork out the extra cost to begin with because this product will deliver value for years! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFPen by Nitro solving and how is that benefiting you?

The process of creating PDF’s, edit them, and share in an efficient manor for accounting, legal, and professional service businesses has become much easier with this product . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
