Customized output

As the only free PDF reader to offer PDF creation, you might expect some limitations. Not in Nitro Reader.

With a range of settings to control the creation process, Nitro Reader lets you completely customize the output. Select and control colors, font-embedding, page size, orientation, and output quality — or just choose one of three preset levels of quality to ensure you create the PDF file you need.
