Nitro Pro 13 provides everything you need to work with PDFs whether you need to make some simple modifications to a file or are creating documents from scratch. There isn’t a free version of Nitro Pro but a free trial that watermarks your saved PDFs is available. For the Mac, Nitro offers 20 percent off when buying five licenses and 24 percent off for 10.
