Upgrading -> Nitro PDF Pro 6
One of the joys of doing the grad school thing is that I work with a LOT of PDFs … so I have been making good use of the Nitro PDF Professional software that Nitro so graciously provided me after I wrote about their free PDF –> Word converter on this blog. You can use the free PDF –> Word Converter…and now the free PDF –> Excel Converter as well …but you won’t need to if you actually buy the software, which is well worth having.
I downloaded it again while I was away at summer school (using my new-ish netbook which didn’t have it installed already) and this time ended up with Nitro 6…which has even more cool features! I am especially fond of being able to add annotations in notes right in the file; it saves me a lot of time and aggravation when I need to go back and find just the bits I wanted to use. I used to make notes in a Word file all the time - but that was no where near as convenient as having them right in the pdf. Now I can just keep the pdfs I’m working with on my flash drive and move them - complete with all of my notes - between the 2/3 computers I work with in any given day.
With Nitro PDF Professional and Zotero, which is a way cool plug in for Firefox that I should write more about (I’ll do that next time) - the hundreds of PDFs I end up downloading and working with over the course of a semester are ever so much more organized and most importantly USEFUL!
Sounds useful. I’ll have to check it out.
But Nitro PDF Pro is expensive I think. I’m using Anybizsoft PDF to Word converter,it’s free now and also does a great job in converting PDF to word. I prefer a freeware. So you may have a try.

I’m glad you found something that works for you… but I am very happy with Nitro, so no need to go looking for anything else.
It is saving me SO much time for my job.
