Chatting with some of the support and product management team earlier in the week, we thought what better way to introduce some of the people behind Nitro Pro than by having them submit one of their favorite tips for getting more out of Nitro Pro. See below for our inaugural ‘top tips’ post. We’ll look to publish more of them in the coming weeks.

Finding out what version of Nitro Pro you have installed

1. Open Nitro Pro.
2. Click on Help ribbon tab.
3. Click Check For Updates.

Copying an image from one PDF to another

If you’re ever in a situation where you need to grab an image from one PDF and copy it to another, here’s how:

1. Select the Edit tool from the Tools panel on any ribbon.
2. Right-click on the image you want to copy, and then click Copy.



3. Now open the PDF you want to put the image in and select the Edit tool.
4. Right-click anywhere on the page and click Paste.

The fastest way to open Nitro PDF Professional

This is for touch typists and keyboard-shortcut enthusiasts. The fastest possible way to open Nitro Pro without ever leaving your keyboard (or having to install special shortcut-related software) is via the Run dialog. Here’s how:

1. Press Windows + R.
2. Type nitropdf.



3. Press Enter.

Speed up text-based reviewing

If you’ve got a large amount of content that needs highlighting, underlining, etc., going back and forth to the review ribbon can be a time consuming process. A much quicker way to speed through the process is via the right-click menu.

1. Select the Copy Text tool.
2. Using the mouse, select the desired text content.
3. Right click and select from Highlight, Underline, and Crossout.



4. Optionally double-click on the text to display the pop-up note.

Happy highlighting!

Using Microsoft ‘Alt’ Hotkeys in Nitro Pro

Pressing Alt on your keyboard will bring up your mapped hotkeys within Nitro PDF Professional, for even quicker access for you keyboard enthusiasts out there. Every item in the ribbon has its own hotkey — just hit Alt to start exploring.
