1. Convert a PDF to view on your Kindle
Kindle users – bet you didn’t know that Amazon will convert a PDF file to a format available for viewing on your Kindle. If your generation Kindle doesn’t automatically convert files to PDFs, all you have to do is send an email to your Kindle email address with the document attached and include the word “convert” in the subject line. It may not be as accurate as Nitro’s convert feature, but it’ll do in a pinch!
2. Turn your Whiteboard Notes into a PDF
If you don’t have the time or energy to copy down all of the whiteboard notes, take a photo of the whiteboard on your phone, then upload the image to your Nitro Cloud account (sign up for free here). Now that your image lives in Nitro Cloud, you can access it from any browser on any device-or, you can choose to download it as a PDF. So many people don’t realise that this is something that they can do. It’s not just notes on a whiteboard that you can turn into a PDF either, you can also scan books, or other documents and turn them into a PDF as well, using something like this overhead document scanner. It certainly makes people’s lives a lot easier when they don’t have to copy things down themselves and instead can just scan them.
3. Get creative with PDF Sewing Patterns
Purchase and download a PDF sewing pattern from your favorite arts and craft website to your computer. Print out the PDF and start following the pattern to create an artistic masterpiece. From clothing to bags to sofa covers – PDF sewing patterns will let you do it all.
4. Save PDF files directly to Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive
We’re not chained to our desktops, why should our documents be? Users with Nitro Pro 10 or higher can save PDF files directly to their cloud storage accounts for anywhere, anytime access. With the document open in Nitro Pro, click File > Save As, and choose where you want the PDF to be saved.
