Nitro PDF which officially launches at the Adobe Acrobat and PDF Conference in Orlando, Florida (April 20-21, 2005), will see the full commercial release taking place on May 2, 2005.
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.
The product is already receiving accolades from industry leaders such as Ted Padova, author of PDF Bible who said: “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."
Sam Chandler, ARTS PDF COO said until now, typically only senior executive level staff had been given access to sophisticated PDF creation, editing and manipulation tools like Acrobat or Nitro PDF.
“In productivity terms, this is the equivalent of an organization deciding to use paper but equipping only the most senior executives with pens, markers and printers. Nitro PDF has been priced to allow organizations to put real PDF power on every desktop,” said Chandler.
“Nitro PDF really is PDF for the people,” he said.
“Very few people or organizations have been able to realize the full potential of PDF due to the cost of PDF software,” said Chandler. “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.”
With its attractive price point, Nitro PDF will fundamentally change the way corporations and businesses manage document security, collaboration, editing and PDF creation.
Its feature set and price are designed to drive the ubiquitous adoption of true electronic document interchange capabilities, enabling the world to share information more easily.
