Nitro’s current Standard plan documents PDF editing, page combination, annotation and batch OCR.
Standard is an annual subscription. Classic is a separate three-year license and Plus has different enterprise controls. The displayed price is an observed EUR storefront quote; billing country and final tax must be checked at checkout.
A free reader for reviewing, filling and signing existing PDF documents.
Reader cannot edit existing text or images. A paid Acrobat plan unlocks different tools; this record does not cover the web subscription.
