Hi Guys,

Sascha Beaumont here with Nitro PDF Software, rest assured we are
listening to the community in every way we can so please please please
submit any gripes/concerns/problems/praise/questions via our official
community support forum at http://www.getsatisfaction.com/nitropdf

To rest your fears, Nitro Reader will always be a freely available
product. Even once we remove the 'beta' label there will be zero
charge to *most* users. Much like it's sister product PrimoPDF, there
will be a nominal charge for Enterprise level customers looking for
more than just the software. Enterprise licensing agreements will be
available bundled with phone support, network deployment customization
and other ancillary services.

If you have no desire for a customized, automated network deployment
for loads of machines then Nitro Reader will always be free. Even for
commercial use. Guaranteed.

Our website is currently unclear about what is happening "post beta",
but I'll have a chat to our web content team and ensure that your
questions are clarified on the site.

Note that the 'beta' tag is on the product as there are certain very
specific areas of the PDF specification that don't display 100%
correct in our renderer. Most documents display better and faster than
in Nitro Pro but some don't. Basically until we catch up to ourselves
we're not removing the beta tag ;)

Finally, regarding Asian languages (more specifically fonts/input/
keyboards, aka. Unicode/CJK support), please let us know what your
problems are via http://www.getsatisfaction.com/nitropdf - we don't
have any native Asian speakers on the testing team, so I'm
*definitely* sure some things have slipped through :)

Cheers,
Sascha Beaumont

Yes. A 32bit reader can open a small PDF in .2sec. A 64bit reader can
open it in only .1sec. Hey! .1sec saved! Over 50 years, you can save
almost a minute!

Thanks for that!

More features than my current reader (FoxIt), but the GUI is ugly.

Seems to have an IE plugin, that's a feature I MUST HAVE.
