Nitro Pro is designed to make opening, viewing, and navigating PDF documents as easy as possible. The document and page controls allow you to manage your workspace, especially when working with more than one document at the same time.

Bookmarks are displayed in the Bookmarks pane, which appears to the left of the document area.

The bookmarks in Nitro Pro work much like the bookmarks you place in paper books-they allow you to retain links to particular pages in a document for quicker access, as well other actions, such as:

The Layers Pane appears in the navigation side-bar when you open a PDF file that contains OCG (Optional Content Group) layers.

How to find text in a PDF:

Two of the key components of the PDF workflow are: the ability to exchange PDF documents with peers and colleagues, and the administrative flexibility of digital files over paper documents. In both cases, it is not always intuitive to understand what files are being processed based on the filename alone. To simplify the visual management of PDF files,Nitro Pro integrates its PDF viewing engine into Microsoft Outlook and Windows Explorer, allowing you to view your PDF files and attachments before opening them in Nitro Pro.

To navigate a PDF file page-by-page, use the Page Controls options on the bar at the bottom of the window:

The Attachments Pane gives you a centralized place to see and organize and save file attachments in a PDF document.

The Output Pane allows you to view any errors related to JavaScript or document processes.

Nitro Pro provides support for a range of document management systems (DMS). This lets you work with repositories such as Microsoft Sharepoint to upload, share, and collaboratively edit documents on a remote web server or web share.

Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (or WebDAV), is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allows users to collaboratively manage documents on a remote server. This is useful for storing files in a shared folder over HTTP, or in a document management system (DMS) such as Documentum or Hummingbird, so that the files can be accessed from anywhere.

The first time you launch Nitro Pro, it checks if you have another PDF viewer installed on your system.Nitro Pro offers to make itself your default PDF viewer, allowing it to automatically open your PDF files when you double-click them from the file browser.

When you click a PDF file in your web browser, the Nitro Web Browser Plugin reads the file and displays it in the web browser.

The Navigation Panes are useful when browsing larger PDF documents, giving you a global view of the pages and bookmarks included in the document.

You can view two or more PDF documents side-by-side in Nitro Pro without needing to use two screens, and without running another copy of the application.

Add a link Edit a link Automatic page number links Create web links from URLs Create keyword links automatically

PDF documents can be set to display in particular ways when opened in a PDF viewer. For example, if your document contains bookmarks and you want them to be easily accessible, you can set the document to open with the Bookmarks pane already displayed. You can also set your PDF so it’s displayed at a particular zoom level, opens at a particular page, and so on. In Nitro Pro these settings are all controlled in the Document Properties dialog.

You can control what links look like, including what color they are when visible, as well as how the link will appear when clicked on. If you need to you can also lock your links so each link keeps its position and properties.

Nitro Pro comes with a complete set of tools for editing, ordering, grouping, altering the appearance of, and deleting the bookmarks in your PDF documents.

The Create Weblinks tool scans your PDF for URLs and turns them into active webpage links

With Nitro Pro you can turn every occurrence of a particular word or phrase into an active hyperlink. For example, you could make all occurrences of your company name in your document link through to your company web site. The Auto Keyword Link tool gives you the choice of going through each occurrence and approving them one at a time, or you can just convert all occurrences automatically in the one go.

You can create bookmarks by selecting text on a page and making it a bookmark, or by adding an untitled bookmark and then setting and naming it in the Bookmarks pane.

The Auto Build Bookmarks feature can totally automate the creation of bookmarks in your PDFs, and with very little effort greatly enhance the usability of the PDFs you publish. Use it to auto-generate bookmarks based on the font styles (headings, chapters, etc.) and the layout used in your PDFs. You can also use it to build bookmarks based on the textual and numerical content of the PDF files by using the text masking and wildcards features.

The Comments Pane gives you a centralized place to see and organize all of your annotations. It lists each comment, its type, reviewer name, date added, and the text included in any pop-up notes and text boxes.

To change the page display options:

Repetitive tasks involving one or several documents can be automated with the Batch Processing tool.

The Create Page Links tool lets you automatically turn all numbers on an area of the page into active hyperlinks that will link each number to the corresponding page in the document. It’s ideal for making sections of documents, like the table of contents and index, more intelligent and easier to use. It’s simply a matter of selecting the part of the page or range of pages you want to scan, and then running the tool to turn them into active links .

When viewing or editing a PDF document, you can adjust the zoom level by using the following tools:

You can add links manually to your PDF pages by clicking the Link tool and drawing the outline of the link on the page. Once it’s added you can edit its appearance and set the action it should perform when clicked by the user.
