• In Nitro Pro, every digitally signed document will be protected from tampering or fraudulent changes to the content. Whiteout and Redaction tools are disabled, making it impossible to hide content on a digitally signed or certified document, so users can have peace of mind knowing their documents are secure.
• Nitro Pro now supports document versioning and revisions when it comes to digital signatures.

• Inserting new pages from the left-side panel into a digitally signed or certified document is now disabled to ensure digitally signed documents are secure and cannot be modified.
• Nitro Pro has improved functionality when combining documents and inserting pages with digital signatures. In such documents, digital signature fields will be cleared and identical fields merged. This will ensure that signed documents cannot be modified in any way.
• Nitro Pro has improved Page Layout functionality. Inserting pages into password-protected documents is now enabled, provided the user has the correct password for the document.
• Nitro Pro had an issue when renaming digital signature form fields with a preexisting name. This issue has been resolved - users will get an error notification to choose a different name.

Known Issues:

Digital Signatures

• 'Repeat Mark Across Pages' button in 'Erase' ribbon is disabled for signed documents that are not fully locked.
  Workaround: Repeat markups manually by drawing a redaction rectangle on the pages as needed.
• 'Summarize Comments' and 'Summarize Comments and Print' under 'Review' tab are disabled for documents that are digitally signed or certified.
• When a document has been created and signed with full lock in Acrobat, clearing the signature and re-signing in Nitro Pro will result in an error.
• Saving a digitally signed or certified document to a DMS location which is configured via OmTools will invalidate the signature.
  Workaround: Use native SharePoint or Worksite connection.
• When a document has been certified, the certification cleared, and the same form field re-used for a digital signature, it will result in the document becoming editable.
• The markup context menu does not appear on a digitally signed document.
  Workaround: Use keyboard shortcuts or contextual Ribbon menu to perform actions on markups.
• User is able to add an attachment via attachment panel on digitally signed documents.
• Nitro Pro has an issue when opening large certified documents and will sometimes result in application freeze. This occurs on very large documents over 200MB.

Cloud/DMS integrations

• In WorkSite deployment, Nitro crashes after a file opened from native cloud storage applications is saved to WorkSite via the 'New Document' option.
• When user's machine is not connected to the Internet, Nitro Pro will not display an error message when sharing a document via Nitro Cloud.
• Cloud storage files cannot be shared to Nitro Cloud and results in an error.
  Workaround: Connect storage providers directly to Nitro Cloud web app.

Other

• Nitro Pro does not fully support dynamic XFA documents. When editing a an XFA document and attempting to save, Nitro Pro will not save the document.
• Nitro Pro’s MS Office add-ons will not be installed on machines, where MS Office was previously installed from Microsoft marketplace. This known issue will be addressed in a future release.

SharePoint 2013/2016

• When user modifies a checked out document in Nitro Pro, and attempts to close it without saving any changes, Nitro Pro will display a check in dialog.
• When saving a checked out document to a local location, the saved document will not be opened from recent documents.
  Workaround: Navigate to the file in Windows Explorer and open.
• Nitro Pro will suggest user to select a minor or major version when saving a checked out document, despite "Create Major versions" setting was applied in SharePoint settings.
• When performing a "Save As" operation, "Enter" keyboard shortcut does not work. Users should use their mouse to save the document.
• When user attempts to save a modified, but not checked out document, Nitro Pro will open "Checkin options" dialog, instead of "Save As".
  Workaround: Click File- Save As and save the document to a desired location.
• User is not able to disconnect from SharePoint via Nitro Pro.

Digital Signature Enhancements

• Nitro Pro has added support for digital signatures in the Internet Explorer add-on.
• Performing a 'Save As' operation on a document that has been digitally signed now shows the correct notification of the document's integrity status.
• Adding a digital signature after certifying a document is no longer permitted, improving document security.
• Nitro Pro now supports more complex digital signature workflows. In a workflow where two signers, such as Preparer and Reviewer, are involved, the clearing of fields belonging to the respective owner will be enabled.

Conversion Enhancements

This issue no longer exists in an App-V environment.
• Nitro Pro has improved the quality of document conversion from PDF to MS Office applications, such as Excel and PowerPoint. Characteristics such as content detection and layout improvements—including tables, rows, and cells, have been improved.

Other Enhancements

Known Issues

• When a document created in Nitro Pro contains form fields that are all locked by adding a digital signature, the lock settings will not be respected in Adobe Acrobat. This only occurs when the 'All fields' setting is applied. When locking the fields with 'All fields except these' and 'Just these fields' options, this workflow succeeds as expected.

  Workaround: When locking the fields via digital signature, select 'Just these fields' and then select the fields you wish to be locked. Otherwise, select 'All fields except these' and do not select any of the fields from the dialog.

• When attempting to save a file to a SharePoint location configured via the OmTool connector, if the file was opened from a native cloud storage provider (e.g. Box), the document will not be saved and an OmTool error will be shown.
