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