Nitro PDF review

Nitro sells three PDF products. Nitro PDF Standard is a per-user subscription, billed annually, with tools to create, convert, combine, edit, annotate and share PDFs, a Nitro Admin portal for managing a team, AI tools, integrations and 24/7/365 support. Nitro PDF Plus is aimed at larger organizations and adds single sign-on, domain control, Azure Information Protection and Nitro Analytics reports on usage and savings. Nitro PDF Classic is a Windows-only license paid once for three years of use, with core editing, combining, splitting and password security in an Office-style interface. E-signing is sold separately as Nitro Sign, and Nitro also offers AI Smart Redact for high-volume redaction. Buyers can purchase up to 20 subscription licenses online; larger orders go through sales. The pricing page loads its figures by location, so our USD check is pending.
