Cons

“They sold a product and then did a rug pull when they realized they'd rather charge people again than honor their lifetime license they originally sold.”
IG

Isaac G.

Controller

“Incorrect information from support, quick to take money for a licence impossible to get it back when they fail to provide the software.”
CO

“Only thing that is annoying is that it tends to default to the app for all PDFs which is not necessary - not really due to Nitro!”
SS

Serena S.

Executive Assistant

Cons

“Good quality OCR, but a very slow process as pop-up windows appear everywhere until you finish OCRing each document, not good for intensive office scanner to folder work”
YM

Yehuda M.

CEO

“The erase function for editing sometimes takes on too much of the background and can sometimes may everything black.”
YH

Professor

“I notice that when I try to scan to Excel it takes about two pages to be able to sort out what is required.”
