Nitro PDF Professional 5.5 Ready for Free Download

Update to Nitro PDF Professional 5.5Here’s an early end-of-year gift for all you Nitro PDF Professional users. We have just released version 5.5 and you can download the free update from the Nitro Pro updates page now. As with all our releases, we’ve improved the performance, eradicated bugs, and added more features. (Read below for the major updates and additions.)

A special thanks goes out to those of you who participated in the beta program — your involvement has helped make Nitro Pro a better product!

Nitro Pro 5.5 updates of note

Support for 64-bit versions of Windows, including XP Professional x64, Windows Vista x64 and Windows Server 2008 x64.

Unicode support for all areas of the application, including comments, editing and copying text, and
converting PDFs to other formats (such as PDF to Word).

Enhanced text insertion. The Insert Text tool expands the PDF editor capabilites with support for multi-line text insertion. While the all-new Text insertion preferences let you set the default font face, size and color properties of your Insert Text tool, as well as set the line spacing for multi-line insertions. If you regularly insert text then this is highly worth configuring in your preferences.

PDF text editing preferences

Replace Text tool. Lets you highlight PDF text for replacement and indicate what the
new text should be.

Replace Text PDF annotation

Transparent Text Box annotations. Set the background and border of Text Box annotations to none, making the Text Box tool work like a typewriter-style annotation.

PDF Text Box annotation

Improved PDF creation and PDF combining. The limit to the number of files
you could select has gone, while the Combine PDF feature now lets you
include files already open in Nitro Pro, via a checkbox on the Combine Files dialog.

Combine PDF files

Lotus Notes support. Convert Microsoft Office files to PDF and email them via Lotus Notes — meaning you can do it directly from the the toolbar or ribbon in Word, Excel or PowerPoint.

Enhanced deployment options for enterprise users. Get greater control over the Nitro Pro you roll out and do it faster.

More

  • Support for the Show/Hide Field form field action.
  • Preference to turn off the Information Bar when PDFs containing forms are opened.
  • Support for relative paths for both Go to page in another document and Open a file actions.

    Your Nitro PDF Professional looks like the app that I’ve been looking for to put together some study outlines in PDF form. Do you plan to bring it out in a Mac OS X version, or do we Mac-ers have to rely on Preview? Preview’s approach to cut-and-paste, annotation, and markup of PDFs looks and feels like a major kludge.

      I too would love a Mac version of Nitro PDF Professional. I have a large PDF made from Word on a Mac, and would love to be able to add bookmarks. ARTS PDF is too expensive for this single task, and I prefer a stand alone program which is not dependent on a particular version of Acrobat.

      At the moment I am copying the PDF to a Windows computer, adding bookmarks with Nitro PDF Pro., then bringing it back. I would much prefer to be able to do this on a single computer. And I don't want to get Parallels or similar and then buy Windows just to do this…

    That looks like a great replacement for an adobe product which isn't working well with Vista. Cheers.

    I too would love to run Nitro PDF Pro. on a Mac. Currently there is no way, on a Mac, of producing a PDF from MS Word generating bookmarks from the document structure.

    I have been experimenting with sending my PDF to a Windows computer, adding bookmarks with Nitro PDF Pro and bringing it back. This works OK, but it would be preferable to do everything on one computer. ARTS PDF is too expensive for this one task, and is tied to a particular version of Acrobat.

    I could run Parallels or similar, but then I'd have to buy Windows too.

    So how about a Mac version?
