If you’re still using Microsoft’s Reader app, try switching to Nitro PDF Reader – we think you’ll be glad you did. You can also customize the top toolbar for quicker access to the settings you use most often just click the button to the immediate right of the Touch/Mouse toggle. This option makes Nitro PDF Reader fingertip-friendly with larger, well spaced buttons. If you’re using a tablet or touchscreen PC, tap the small icon to the right of the Undo button to switch to Touch mode. All the tools you need are presented as clear icons in a simple ribbon (the essentials like annotation are under Home, while secure document signing options are under Advanced). The first time you launch Nitro PDF Reader you’ll be offered a quick start guide to show you the ropes, but the interface is so clean and well designed, you won’t need it.

These are the only inconveniences you’ll face, and they’re both very minor.

The software comes with an optional extension for Firefox and Internet Explorer too, so make sure you click the ‘Configuration’ button in the installer if you’d rather give it a miss. Before you can download Nitro PDF Reader, you’ll be asked to share your name and email address, with the option to sign up for Nitro’s newsletter.
