This release resolves an issue that caused Nitro Pro to close unexpectedly when opening certain PDF documents containing images.
The System Tray App, which is exclusively available to Online customers, has been refreshed with a more modern UI for an improved user experience. Additional enhancements help Nitro Pro users onboard quicker and easier. These include:
Another new addition to the System Tray App is Nitro's Environmental Impact Score, which illustrates how the use of Nitro Pro drives environmental sustainability. The Environmental Impact Score presents information, like the number of trees saved and average number of pages not printed, over a period of time for each user. This new feature will help Nitro users become more aware of how activities like printing negatively impact the environment and how using Nitro instead can produce positive change.
This new feature enables users to add a collection of tools to a customizable ribbon tab in Nitro Pro. Especially helpful for users who complete the same processes every day, the Customize Tab gives users a place to group tools together based on their workflow needs. Users can also rename the tab to reflect their use case; for example, "Legal Review Tools" or "Purchase Orders".

The creation of a PDF document fails when using the 32_64 bit build of Nitro Pro. This issue appears only in 32_64 bit builds and does not impact any other builds.
