Nitro PDF Reader: The PDF reader, reimagined.

About Nitro Reader

We’re enthusiastic about PDF, no doubt about that. We're also PDF software users — like you, and hundreds of millions of people worldwide. We go to events, we fly in planes, and we file tax returns. We get asked for feedback at work, and we apply for insurance.

Almost every single time we do these things, it involves a PDF file. And, like many, many people out there — there simply wasn't a free solution that did the things we needed it to. The way we wanted it to.

Nitro Reader is our endeavor to provide a better option. We hope you enjoy using it.
