Overcome Document Challenges With Nitro Pro

Small businesses, especially those in legal, consulting, and construction industries, often face the daunting task of managing contracts manually. Without the right tools, it’s easy to get bogged down in repetitive tasks like formatting, printing, scanning, and sending documents back and forth. These time-consuming processes hinder business productivity, delay project kick-offs, and introduce room for errors.

Nitro Pro eliminates these inefficiencies by offering a streamlined digital solution. Whether you’re a lawyer drafting agreements, a consultant preparing service contracts, or a construction professional managing project bids—Nitro Pro provides the means to create, edit, and finalize contracts anywhere.

Let’s explore a common contract workflow and how Nitro Pro will help you revolutionize the way you manage your projects.

The core of Nitro Pro is its intuitive interface and easy-to-use tools. Small businesses no longer need to spend hours drafting documents like contracts from scratch.

Save time with ready-to-go templates: With Nitro’s free PDF templates, you can create contracts in minutes by using pre-designed templates specifically tailored for whatever industry you work in. By using templates, you can skip the hassle of creating contracts from scratch. You can also build and save your own customized contract templates.

Convert other file formats to PDF: You likely work with a lot of different file formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and images, just to name a few. Use Nitro Pro to convert these file formats to a universal PDF format that is easier to view, share, optimize, and store. It’s simple to convert PDF files to other formats as well.

Build fillable forms: One of the most helpful features of Nitro Pro is its ability to create fillable forms within your contracts. Whether you need clients to provide contact details, fill in specific information, or agree to terms, you can add interactive form fields to any part of the contract. This includes text boxes, checkboxes, dropdown menus, signature fields, and more. With fillable forms, you can ensure all necessary information is gathered, reducing errors and back-and-forth communication. The data entered in these forms is securely stored and can be easily shared with other collaborators.

As a small business, it’s important to ensure your contracts reflect the professionalism and specific needs of your business.

Edit contracts: Nitro Pro’s editing features allow you to make necessary changes on any PDF document with ease. Whether you need to update the contract terms, add additional text, redact confidential information, or adjust formatting, the editing tools are user-friendly and flexible.

Use OCR to scan and edit paper documents: Have a hard copy you need to edit? No problem. Scan it into Nitro and use our fast Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature to turn any scanned document into a searchable and editable PDF.

Personalize your documents: Beyond basic editing, Nitro Pro enables you to integrate business-specific elements like logos, custom images, and fillable forms—fully aligning your contracts to your brand and business. This also improves the user experience for clients and collaborators.

For legal advisors handling a high volume of contracts and sensitive client information, Nitro is a trusted solution allowing you to add, remove, or reorganize clauses and redact confidential information without disrupting the document’s format. See how easy it is in this quick demo of our redaction tool.

Getting contracts signed in person can be a hassle, if not impossible, especially when multiple parties need to review and approve documents. With Nitro Pro, it’s both easier and more secure.

Simplify legally binding eSignatures: Whether you just need to apply your own signature to a document electronically or request legally binding electronic signatures from clients, it’s as easy as clicking a button. Unlimited signing is included with Nitro Pro, ensuring your contracts are signed and delivered without delays.

Have multiple parties sign from anywhere: Nitro Pro also supports multi-party signature requests, allowing collaborators to sign contracts from any device, whether they’re in the office or on the go. This flexibility speeds up the contract approval process, letting you close deals anywhere and get projects off the ground faster.

Create secure legal agreements: Security is critical when dealing with legal agreements, and Nitro Pro ensures that every signature is legally binding and compliant with industry standards. Additionally, businesses can protect sensitive contract details with password protections, encryption, and watermarks.

“Nitro is very user friendly and a quick way to request signatures. I use it on a daily basis to edit PDFs and get contracts signed. There are numerous features available to the user.”

Customer Testimonial

In addition to powerful PDF editing and signing capabilities, Nitro Pro prioritizes document security. Contracts are often sensitive, containing confidential business information, and Nitro Pro provides the tools necessary to keep them secure.

Apply multiple layers of document protection: With options like password protection, you can control how your documents are accessed or shared. You can also set permissions to prevent further editing or copying of the document. For an extra layer of security, Nitro Pro eSignatures ensure your signed documents remain tamper-proof and unchanged.

Collaborate in PDFs with anyone: Nitro Pro allows you to work with anyone anywhere by offering collaborative review tools, even if your collaborators themselves are not using Nitro Pro. Team members or external parties can highlight text, add comments, redact sensitive information, and insert text boxes directly into the contract.

Accelerate decisions and approvals: Nitro Pro’s collaboration features enhance transparency and allow small businesses to make faster decisions. You can work together with clients, legal teams, or partners without the need to constantly send documents back and forth.

Contracts often consist of multiple documents, amendments, annexes, appendices, and much more.

Consolidate any files into Portfolios: Nitro Pro enables you to combine several file types into a single portfolio, making it easier to organize and present all related documents in one PDF file. You might think of portfolios as your consolidated binder for all kinds of files and use cases—such as client files, project files, legal files, and tax files.

Optimize file sizes: Additionally, you can reduce the file size of your PDFs and portfolios for easy sharing, ensuring that your important documents don’t get blocked by email servers or take up unnecessary storage space. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses that need to share contracts frequently, as it reduces the complexity of sending multiple file attachments, keeps all documents accessible, and streamlines the communication process.

"I find Nitro to be easier to use than Adobe for what I require. I do document manipulation when sending out invoices since my billing program and construction accounting software do not use the same invoicing numbers. When editing CCDC forms this is more user friendly with the whiteout feature and type text."
