SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/13/13 -- Nitro, creator of intuitive solutions that enable people to work smarter with digital documents, today announced the release of Nitro Pro 8.5, the latest version of its award-winning, flagship desktop PDF product.

Nitro Pro provides all the essential tools business users need to work with PDF files and is a true replacement for Adobe Acrobat. Trusted by over 50% of the Fortune 100 and with almost half a million customers worldwide, Nitro Pro is now better than ever with key new features, usability fixes, enhanced performance, and improved user support.

"We are constantly striving to improve our core product offering, whether that's through the addition of new features, enhancing the overall product user experience, or providing the industry's best customer service and support," said Nitro's CEO, Sam Chandler. "By consistently soliciting feedback and listening to customer requests, we're in a position to further round out our feature set and ultimately, help our users be more productive by making digital document workflows as intuitive as they should be. The result is what you see in some of the new enhancements within Nitro Pro 8.5."

Highlights in the latest version include:
