The PDF Blog

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.’
