Expect more

Many users of free PDF readers expect compromise.

It might be limited functionality — or none at all. Maybe "free" equates to in-product advertising, forced registration, and constant attempts to upsell you a paid product. Perhaps it's an oversize download, with security concerns and updates so frequent you wonder why you're doing so much, for so little in return.

Not anymore. With Nitro Reader you can start doing more, without the compromise you've come to expect.
