Nitro PDF Reader (and printer)

Nitro PDF Reader is a free PDF viewer and printer. Yes we all know about Adobe�s Acrobat Viewer that is also free. However, Adobe�s PDF viewer has become heavier and slower due to the many added features that perhaps only 1% of user will actually use. It has become so heavy to load that they even had to add a �speed launcher� that always runs in the background when you start your computer to speed up the launch of Adobe�s Acrobat viewer. Not to mention the countless large updates.

There are many free alternatives to Adobe�s Acrobat viewer and Nitro PDF is one of them. What I really like about Nitro PDF viewer is the use of Microsoft�s �Ribbon Interface� (like in the new Microsoft Office). It blends in very well with Windows and makes the the program very easy to use.

Nitro PDF also gives you the ability to add on-screen notes to existing PDF documents, add text, stamp your signature and a lot more. This is ideal for commenting on PDF documents you received. You can even extract images from PDF documents.

Nitro PDF also comes with a free PDF printer. You can print any document to PDF format and thus create PDF files.

The software is available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. I did not manage to make it work for my 64-bit Windows 7 (Home Premium) machine because the installer keeps encountering an error. Other users did not encounter this error so I suppose it must be an anomaly with my machine only. Leave a post here if you have any problems with the 64-bit version.
