Nitro PDF is PDF viewing and editing software that also enables you to add electronic signatures to a document.

Nitro PDF is the University's default PDF application. Nitro can be used on University-owned and personally-owned computers by staff and students.

Once installed, log in to Nitro PDF using your University of Otago email address and password to activate. If you are not prompted to log in when Nitro PDF starts:

  • On Windows, click the login button on the right-hand side of the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  • On a Mac computer, go to the Nitro PDF Pro menu, select Account, then log in.

Adobe Acrobat will no longer be available for staff to purchase unless a case for it can be justified.

Nitro PDF training

You can use Nitro PDF to create electronic signatures. There are two types of electronic signature options through Nitro PDF:

  • Nitro PDF Pro — QuickSign allows you to quickly add your signature to an electronic document. It is best used when convenience is key and there is little concern about the legality or authenticity of the signature.
  • Nitro Sign allows you to manage a signing process including requests, activity logs, and document tracking. It is best used when more than three signatures are required and where tracking of the signing process is needed in the document.
