Sadly, there’s no option for reviewing, and correcting if necessary, the results. Make sure you click Advanced and choose High (Slow) next to OCR Quality before you begin, otherwise you could find yourself disappointed with Nitro’s accuracy (or otherwise) at generating editable text. One thing we noticed on using this feature is that Nitro’s default conversion settings, medium, don’t produce particularly accurate results. Version 8 now automatically detects scanned and image-based documents and will prompt you to apply OCR to it in order to generate an editable or searchable text layer. Nitro 8 bundles a basic OCR engine based on Readiris, enabling you to scan paper documents and convert them into editable, searchable text. Nitro 8 also makes it easy to combine multiple documents into a single PDF file: click the Combine button, pick your files, set the running order, choose a quality setting and output folder, and off you go. There’s the ubiquitous printer driver that works within any application, but you can also drag documents directly into the Nitro window, and publish instantly from within Word, Excel and PowerPoint - if you’re running the 32-bit versions of Office 2003 or later. While creating PDFs is no longer the exclusive preserve of paid-for products, Nitro Pro 8’s PDF creation tools offer a myriad of different ways of converting your documents into PDF format. Speaking of which, despite the continued lack of context-sensitive help, there is at least a Search tab now available via the main Help menu to help you find what you’re looking for. It certainly lowers the learning curve, allowing you to dive in and start using the program without having to reach for a complicated user manual or help system.

By employing the now-familiar ribbon interface found in other Microsoft products, including later versions of Office, you’re immediately drawn into the program, with all the key tools clearly labeled and within easy reach. The first major plus in Nitro’s favor is its user interface.
