v14.3 [Jul 31, 2023]
- Nitro PDF Pro now includes support for RichText Content annotation, allowing users to view and edit such content with enhanced clarity and detail.
- One of the causes of the "Uh Oh! You're Offline" connectivity error when accessing Nitro Sign from within Nitro PDF Pro has been resolved.
- Minor issues observed in v14.3 and issues related to header and footer profile retention during upgrades to v14.x have been corrected.
v13.5 [Oct 27, 2021]
General Enhancements:
- Ability to Define Entry Point to SharePoint: Nitro Pro makes the access point to SharePoint more flexible. In many cases, an organizational SharePoint communication site was at a top level. Meaning, Nitro Pro only connected to that point, not specific department pages. Some organizations do not have a top level of SharePoint, making SharePoint inaccessible by Nitro Pro. This was not an ideal experience. To solve this problem, the latest version of Nitro Pro allows a power user to predefine the path to the SharePoint site. This also guarantees that users will access a site to which they have permission. This also saves users from searching for the "right" site among all the sites available on SharePoint server sites.
- Nitro Pro Office Add-In: The latest contains an improvement around the Nitro Pro Office add-in for 32-bit Office users on the 64-bit operation system. Previously users with the 64-bit environment might experience difficulties with enabling the Nitro Pro Office add-in. The new version of Nitro Pro not only resolves this issue, but includes a more robust Office add-in. Embedded Font Serch, Copy and Paste Functionality: When using Search and Copy-Paste functionality in documents with embedded fonts, those functions now perform in a more reliable fashion.
Digital Signature and Certificates:
- Digital Signature and Time Stamp Viability: In the latest release, Nitro Pro respects the list of time stamp servers added into Preferences. When applying a digital signature to a document, Nitro Pro defaults to the listed server to request the time stamp, instead of the local operating system. Using the server time stamp rather than the local operating system has proved to be a trusted form of reference. It also ensures long-term validation and confidence around the signature and when it was actually applied.
- Digital Signature Reliability: In this release, Nitro Pro prevents users from applying signatures with expired or not yet valid certificates. This enhancement improves digital signature reliability.
- Improved Redaction and Optimization: When applying redaction now, by default, Nitro Pro performs better document inspection on hidden information and prevents hidden data from leaking.
iManage:
- Seamless iManage Check-in Process: This release contains several enhancements related to iManage workflow robustness. Previously, users might experience difficulties checking in a document to the server with a custom name or when working with a document with Azure Information Protection.
Stability and Robustness:
- Auto-recovery Improvements: This release contains improved stability around auto-recovery functionality, even when setting have been changed in preferences.
- Complex Document Performance: This release contains an enhancement around Nitro Pro stability when working with complex documents rich in bookmarks, layers and grouped objects.
v13.1 [Mar 6, 2020]
- Nitro Pro demonstrates improved stability when opening documents signed by various digital signature providers, such as ValidSign.
- This version of Nitro Pro includes security improvements to password protection where a document has been created in DynaPDF. Password security will be respected when printing or batch printing.
- In some cases, users of earlier versions of Nitro Pro would experience an error message when opening the application. The issue has been resolved in this release of Nitro Pro and the application opens as expected.
- Some performance improvements have been made in this release, particularly impacting users with slow internet connections or those working offline. These users will experience faster opening of files.
- This release includes additional stability improvements in the areas of page manipulation and text annotation.

v8.1.1.12 [Dec 20, 2012]
Type Text Smart Alignment
The Type Text tool has come of age. Whether you’re filling out static forms, annotating a document, or just touching up a PDF file, Type Text Smart Alignment makes it faster than ever to align new text to existing page elements thanks to visual guides that lock on to nearby text, images, form fields or annotations.
Automatic OCR During Conversion
Many of you have asked us why it’s not possible to edit certain PDF files after being converted to Word documents. After inspecting these files it commonly turns out that the source PDF file would have been image-based, or created from a scanned document. Nitro Pro 8 now detects scanned documents and recognizes image-based text on-the-fly during conversion of PDF to Word, Excel, and RTF. It couldn’t be easier.
Auto Recover
The reality of working with computers is that sometimes things go wrong. Unfortunately, it seems these crashes and freezes seem to inevitably happen when you haven’t had the chance to save your work yet. Nitro Pro 8’s Auto Recovery feature has been designed to restore all your PDF files, including unsaved changes and view states to exactly the way things were before the crash. Now you can hold off on ripping your hair out if the application ever crashes!
Scanned Document Detection
There’s not much point in having so many powerful PDF editing tools when the document being viewed is nothing more than a photograph of the original. If you do come across a PDF file created from a scanned document, Nitro Pro 8 will detect it and provide you with the OCR tools you need to convert it into a fully searchable or editable PDF file.
Autonomy WorkSite™ Integration
Enterprise deployments of Nitro Pro 8 can provide seamless opening and saving functionality for PDF files stored in a WorkSite document repository. Using Nitro to access document management systems (DMS) is now as easy as working with local folders on your PC.
In-Application Purchasing.
Since our goal was to make working with Nitro Pro easier and more of a no-brainer, we also wanted to extend this philosophy to the process of purchasing a license. The new In-App Purchasing utility enables you to purchase and activate a full license without ever leaving Nitro Pro 8, allowing you to resume working with your open PDF files without ever interrupting your work.
…and Many More Improvements
Nitro Pro 8 also includes a set of improvements to the existing features we all love to use. For a complete list of new features and improvements, you can view or download the version 8 release notes from the Nitro website. Over the coming weeks, we will also be publishing a mini-series of articles providing a more in-depth analysis of the new Pro 8 features and their practical use. So stay tuned, and don’t forget to grab yourself a fully-functional 14 day trial of Nitro Pro 8 to take it for a spin and to see how easy working with PDF has finally become.
