Download Nitro Reader 2.2!

We just launched Nitro Reader 2.2!  We’ve got some sweet new features, key updates to existing ones, and some bug fixes so we can give you the best possible PDF software.  Here are some of the key features of Nitro Reader 2.2:

 

New Features

  • Print from right-click context menu in Windows Explorer. When Nitro is your default PDF viewer, clicking Print in the right-click context menu will open the PDF and automatically send it to your printer.
  • doc.spawnPagesFromTemplate JavaScript function at runtime. This JavaScript function is used to add new pages to the active PDF document (based on a hidden template created at time of form design).
  • Keyboard input language detection. Text insertion tools (Type Text, Form Fields, etc.) will automatically load a font based on the user’s preferred input language set on the operating system. E.g. Japanese characters will be automatically available when using text insertion tools if Japanese is set as the default input language.
  • Disable line width when rendering path objects. Enabling this preference (from the Page View preferences section) will ensure line widths are ignored when path objects are rendered. This is useful when working with very complex and line-heavy architectural or engineering documents.
  • Rich text annotation / form field support. Annotations or form fields using rich text (bold, italics) will be rendered accordingly.

 

Updates

  • Keyboard shortcuts are no longer overwritten.  Improved storage management of shortcuts preserves custom settings across application sessions.
  • JPEG2000 image rendering.  Color rendering accuracy for some JPEG2000 encoded images has been greatly improved.
  • Many bug fixes and improvements.  Many improvements in PDF rendering, printing and general application quality have been included in this version.

 

If you already have Nitro Reader, the update will be available through the application later this week.  If you want it immediately though, you can download it  here.

    • http://blog.nitropdf.com chrisdahl

      With Nitro Reader you can interact with bookmarks, but you can’t create bookmarks. This is available in Nitro Pro, our commercial product available from http://www.nitropdf.com.

    The question for Nitro is, “how can Nitro make the toaster of the going paperless process?”

    Going paperless is more a problem of computer literacy than desire or technology…….. It is happening slowly, by attrition, by generation, but is happening.

    An easy, complete, and comfortable, system that works as easy as making toast in a toaster, would help speed it along by involving those not yet completely comfortable with computers and technology.

    When people are comfortable with what they are doing, don’t understand how a change helps them personally, in a radical way, and have to put out effort to change, they are resistant and will not make a change. Look at something as simple as elections.

    Very inexpensive processes, step by step easy instructions, and focus on the younger generations that are already computer literate and comfortable with technology will make it happen sooner. Going paperless needs to feel as easy as making “toast in a toaster” for people to adopt it.
