Handy tips from the Nitro Team: Nitro PDF Professional

We asked around the office to find out what tips and tricks our team thought our users would like to hear.

We’ve included a few handy highlights below to help you do more with your PDF files, and save some time while you’re at it.

Confirming your version and licensing details

We get a few people asking what version they have installed, or the status of their license. Whether you’re looking for documentation, lodging a support case, or checking for upgrades – it’s a handy thing to know. To find out, follow these simple steps:

  1. Open Nitro Pro
  2. Click the Help ribbon tab
  3. Click About

Here, you’ll find what version you have installed, the EULA, and licensing details, as well as options to deactivate or register.

  1. Select the Edit tool
  2. Right-click on the image you need
  3. Click Copy
  4. Right-click anywhere on the page in the new document, and click Paste

      We don't have that feature currently, sorry.

      The best way to achieve this would be to use the PDF to Word functionality

      in Nitro Pro to turn your PDF into a Word document. Then use 'Find and

      Replace' in Word and turn it back into a PDF
