Hi :) Errr, this Nitro thing seems to be just a 3rd party product for reading/writing Pdfs, which LibreOffice does very well on it's own. It also seems to be able to take scanned images (Ocr = Optical Character Recognition) and convert into editable Pdfs and allows editing words inside such Pdfs and others. But you have to buy it and there are a LOT of other 3rd party products out there that do the same thing. Foxit for example. Do we know if Nitro is OpenSource or proprietary? Regards from Tom :)
