If you’re using Nitro Pro daily, then to save you time (if you’re not already doing it!), you really should think about memorizing some of the keyboard shortcuts . Nitro Pro supports many of the standard Windows shortcuts such as:
- Close File — Ctrl+W
- Save File — Ctrl+S
- Open File — Ctrl+O
It also includes shortcuts for most of the tools to view, navigate through and edit PDF files.
- Hand Tool — Esc or Ctrl+H
- Zoom In Tool — Ctrl+J
- Zoom Out Tool — Ctrl+K
- Copy Text Tool — Ctrl+T
- Edit Tool — Ctrl+E
How to find shortcuts
A quick way to find out the shortcut for a tool is by hovering over the tool for a moment. If you look at the screenshot below you’ll see right next to the name of the tools that the keyboard shortcut is displayed — see the ‘Ctrl+E’ and the ‘Ctrl+L.’
