Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the finest features that the document managing program has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workspace customization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most modern apps have a set interface that you must familiarize yourself with. Any shortcomings in the design that clash with your workflow just have to be lived with. What makes Nitro PDF stand out is the ability to customize your workspace. You can <strong>place the tools you use most in convenient spots<\/strong> that allow you to access them with fewer clicks. You can also hide the myriad other tools and widgets that you never need. With a bit of customization, the user interface is guaranteed to facilitate your specific purpose. The cumulative time saved by clearing the extraneous icons adds up tremendously over the course of a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"355\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/01.Nitro_Change-the-workspace-to-include-only-your-favorite-features-1.jpg\" alt=\"Change the Nitro workspace to include only your favorite features.\" class=\"wp-image-203513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/01.Nitro_Change-the-workspace-to-include-only-your-favorite-features-1.jpg 355w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/01.Nitro_Change-the-workspace-to-include-only-your-favorite-features-1-148x300.jpg 148w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/01.Nitro_Change-the-workspace-to-include-only-your-favorite-features-1-6x12.jpg 6w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/01.Nitro_Change-the-workspace-to-include-only-your-favorite-features-1-150x304.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automatically and efficiently sign PDF documents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many formal documents require your signature to be finalized. The introduction of all digital files has made this step trickier than in the days of paper. The good news is that Nitro allows you to <strong>automatically add your signature<\/strong> to the appropriate fields within a digital contract or document. Even in a web browser, you enjoy the <strong>rapid e-signing functionality<\/strong> typically reserved for mobile devices. After a few seconds, your signature is fully represented on the digital page without any flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"716\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/02.Nitro_Quickly-sign-digital-documents-with-saved-signature-profiles-1024x716.jpg\" alt=\"Quickly sign digital documents with saved signature profiles in Nitro.\" class=\"wp-image-203509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/02.Nitro_Quickly-sign-digital-documents-with-saved-signature-profiles-1024x716.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/02.Nitro_Quickly-sign-digital-documents-with-saved-signature-profiles-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/02.Nitro_Quickly-sign-digital-documents-with-saved-signature-profiles-768x537.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/02.Nitro_Quickly-sign-digital-documents-with-saved-signature-profiles-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/02.Nitro_Quickly-sign-digital-documents-with-saved-signature-profiles-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/02.Nitro_Quickly-sign-digital-documents-with-saved-signature-profiles.jpg 1030w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combine and convert different file types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When reviewing multiple bodies of large work, condensing it all into a single, searchable document is a game changer. Nitro allows you to<strong> merge multiple files<\/strong>, even of different extensions and styles. You can <strong>convert any file<\/strong> into the extension type that you intend for the finalized document. Once all pictures and documents are converted to the new format, you can merge them all into a massive file. From there, the <em><strong>Ctrl + F<\/strong><\/em><strong><em> <\/em>search functionality<\/strong> allows you to stay organized throughout thousands of pages worth of text. This functionality can save you dozens of hours when implemented properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"958\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03.Nitro_Combine-multiple-files-into-one-for-easy-reading-or-searching.jpg\" alt=\"Combine multiple Nitro files into one for easy reading or searching.\" class=\"wp-image-203508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03.Nitro_Combine-multiple-files-into-one-for-easy-reading-or-searching.jpg 958w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03.Nitro_Combine-multiple-files-into-one-for-easy-reading-or-searching-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03.Nitro_Combine-multiple-files-into-one-for-easy-reading-or-searching-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03.Nitro_Combine-multiple-files-into-one-for-easy-reading-or-searching-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03.Nitro_Combine-multiple-files-into-one-for-easy-reading-or-searching-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The suite of security options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to oversee sensitive or confidential documents, Nitro PDF also has you covered. You can<strong> encrypt sensitive data<\/strong> before sending it to someone else or storing it in the cloud. Furthermore, you&#8217;ll be able to <strong>track when any activity is detected around the document<\/strong>. See who has access to each file, when they decide to open it, and a comprehensive log of all the changes made. The<strong> log updates in real-time <\/strong>to alert you to any nefarious or unwarranted actions. Overall, Nitro PDF is the ideal way to keep a tab on documents after they leave your personal machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/04.Nitro_Set-security-features-like-passwords-and-document-tracking-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Set security features like passwords and document tracking.\" class=\"wp-image-203507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/04.Nitro_Set-security-features-like-passwords-and-document-tracking-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/04.Nitro_Set-security-features-like-passwords-and-document-tracking-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/04.Nitro_Set-security-features-like-passwords-and-document-tracking-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/04.Nitro_Set-security-features-like-passwords-and-document-tracking-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/04.Nitro_Set-security-features-like-passwords-and-document-tracking-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/04.Nitro_Set-security-features-like-passwords-and-document-tracking.jpg 1078w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrate and utilize external applications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitro allows you to save even more time by <strong>quickly accessing and editing documents from other platforms<\/strong>.
