    Save PDF as TIFF OR JPG planned

    One major feature we would need is able to save the pdf as tiff or jpg. In Adobe Acrobat all we do is open the pdf and Click on Save As then you could pick tiff or JPG on Save As TYPE

    Text Clarity (Cleartype)

    Comparing Acrobat (either Reader/Writer), NitroPDF is clearly deficient in the rendering of text. On smaller font sizes, NitroPDF renders text as blocky curves, jagged edges, and is generally unsatisfactory. Is it a matter of adding a ClearType screen calibration component?

    Allow new PDF to be "appended" to existing PDF by "save as" planned

    This would save the tedious business of using "insert" to build a multi-page PDF.

    You would just "save as" the new page(s) as an existing file name and would be offered the choice of replacing or appending to.

    Change Font on Call Outs and Text Boxes planned

    Allow user to change the font and text size for call outs and text boxes. Right now the font is too large for most of my documents, requiring too much space for a call out or text box.

    Also add an option to wrap only at spaces or appropriate word breaks--currently wrapping is done at the charac... more

    Windows Explorer Thumbnail Integration planned

    It would be great if NitroPDF could expose a plugin for thumbnail generation. Currently I have to have Adobe Reader installed to see thumbnails of PDF files in Windows Explorer whilst I'm using NitroPDF.

    Save Print Settings under review

    I wish there was a way to have NitroPDF save its printer settings like you can in Acrobat.

    I find it difficult for the users I support to always remember to always auto-rotate and center, never scale, and to always use PDF page size to select paper source. This is really important for document p... more

    Typewriter Tool.

    Adding a sticky note is not the same as being able to type directly onto the document. I really miss the typewrite feature of Adobe.

    improve rendering engine

    Rendering of complex drawings (e.g. by autocad, or circuit schematics) is very slow, and sometimes Nitro redraws a page 5 times in a row (taking up to 15 seconds or more).
    Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader and others are significantly faster...

    Print PDF from Web and retain active links

    True. PDFDownload does the trick. But, not all of us use Firefox all the time. It would be great if the Nitro PDF Driver 5 printer would allow for capturing Web pages. More specifically, I'd like to capture all the LINKS in a page when converting it to pdf.

    Also, Acrobet has a cool feature unde... more
