ARTS PDF, the award-winning and category-leading developer of PDF tools for PDF professionals announced today that PDF industry guru and author of the Adobe Acrobat PDF Bible, Ted Padova, will be the author of a user guide — "Ted Padova’s Guide to Nitro PDF" — for the just-released Nitro PDF™ Desktop.
Nitro PDF, a true Adobe® Acrobat® alternative with a price of just $99, went on sale last week, and challenges the market leader Acrobat for a slice of the $1 billion (plus) sector.
Sam Chandler, ARTS PDF COO said the firm was honored to have such a high-calibre PDF industry leader like Padova involved in the Nitro product, and at such a significant customer experience level.
Padova is a key industry supporter of the product saying: "Nitro PDF is an extraordinary PDF creation and editing tool. It’s a powerhouse companion for Microsoft® Office users who want to easily create, manipulate and share PDF documents."
"I’m excited to be writing the guide for a product with such potential. The market opportunity is enormous, and growing. Nitro’s feature set and price point mean it should have a significant impact on the way the world works with PDF."
At last month’s Adobe Acrobat PDF Conference in Orlando, Florida, Adobe’s director of Acrobat product marketing told conference attendees in a keynote speech that Adobe estimated the untapped market demand for Acrobat to run to nearly 100 million more users.
ARTS PDF is confident that Nitro PDF will capture some of that demand, catering to more price-sensitive customers, from individuals to large corporations.
"While Acrobat with its approximately $300-450 price point has traditionally been attractive at the senior executive level or for creative professionals, Nitro is targeting the more price-sensitive user in the market," says Chandler.
"This is truly about ‘PDF for the people, as we believe PDF is an essential tool for every information worker throughout businesses and corporations for document interchange and retention, document security, and collaboration."
"And, until now there has been no product that is fully-featured like Acrobat, producing high-quality PDFs and giving access to a sophisticated set of editing and manipulation tools. Nitro PDF is a true alternative to Acrobat."
Competitively priced at $99, Nitro PDF Desktop gives users full control over PDF documents, including commenting, form-filling and authoring, digital signatures, text editing, one-click creation from Microsoft Office and more.

"Ted Padova’s Guide to Nitro PDF" will be available for download from the Nitro PDF web site in late May.
