A user just requested a new feature over on our Customer Connect site, to be able to display ‘future dates’ in text fields.
I would like to be able to format a field for x number of days from todays date.

The majority of our users probably aren’t aware there are some big differences between performing a Save and Save As in PDF editing applications such as Nitro PDF Professional and Adobe Acrobat. Over the years I’ve found myself referring to Save as being a ‘quick save’ and a Save As as a ‘full save’.

When it comes to identifying features to assign to a particular release of Nitro PDF Professional, a major influence is what our customers are requesting (it’s pretty obvious hey). To date we’ve been keeping track of this via our customer support system, but it hasn’t been the most efficient way of going about it. We [...]
As mentioned in earlier posts, the 5.4 release of Nitro PDF Professional was very forms centric. We made some major improvements to form support, and one of these is the Forms Tools context ribbon.
This ribbon appears when you have a form field selected. To see what I’m talking about, add a form field to a [...]
If you’ve read Richard’s post regarding the release of Nitro PDF Professional 5.4, then you’re probably already aware of the update to Nitro Pro’s forms functionality. Calling it an ‘update’ though, doesn’t really do it justice. We have totally rebuilt forms from scratch and it is much different and improved compared with previous versions. If you’re [...]
Nitro PDF Professional 5.3.3 was released on our website this week. It includes a number of important bug fixes, and an update to the Tools panel.
We’ve broken out some of the features (Edit, Snapshot) on the Tools panel that were previously hidden away within a drop-down menu, to make them more accessible to users. This [...]
