WHAT'S NEW

A complete visual refresh

It's the same powerful PDF editor your teams rely on, made easier to use. Version 26 brings a cleaner interface, more intuitive navigation, and improved discoverability at any screen size.

Data-clearing capabilities like Redact and Remove Metadata now live together in one place, so the tool you need is where you'd expect it to be.

Redesigned stamps panel

Stamps are now searchable and organized into dedicated tabs by type, so finding the right stamp no longer means scrolling through a crowded list.

More intuitive color picker

Colors now display by name rather than hex codes, making formatting decisions faster and more natural.

Enhanced screen size responsiveness

As your window narrows, buttons collapse from right to left, keeping your most-used actions visible for as long as possible.

A new Smart Tools tab

Version 26 introduces a new dedicated home for every AI-powered capability, giving you everything you need in one place to analyze content in any language, extract critical data, and protect sensitive information.

Automate Document Workflows Inside Claude

Nitro MCP (Model Context Protocol) connects Claude to Nitro's document engine, so you can extract data, convert files, redact sensitive content, and send signature requests using simple prompts. Built by the team behind the PDF & eSign software trusted by 67% of the Fortune 500.

Turn hours of document work into a single prompt

Accelerate your productivity by turning complex document tasks—like extracting data from a 100-page contract or merging dozens of files into a single document—into instant actions. Describe the work in natural language and Nitro MCP does the rest.

Works in the AI agent you already use

Run end-to-end document workflows from inside the Claude app your team already uses, leveraging the Nitro capabilities you already know.

Maximize reliability, minimize AI exposure

Nitro handles execution and ensures accurate outcomes—not an AI's best guess. And your sensitive data stays protected: documents stay on Nitro's servers, and your documents are never used to train AI models.

Get early access to Nitro MCP

To use Nitro MCP you will need an active Nitro account, or Nitro free trial, and Claude Desktop installed on your computer.

Nitro Account

Nitro MCP is included with your subscription. New customers can sign up for a free 14 day trial.

Download & install Nitro MCP

Fill out the brief form to access the download file (.mcpb).

• On Mac: With Claude open on your desktop, double click to run the installer. Nitro MCP will open automatically.
• On Windows: Open up Claude’s desktop app, click on your profile on the bottom left and navigate to Settings > Extensions > Advanced Settings > Install extension. Then choose the download Nitro MCP file.

Ask Claude

Direct Claude to a file or folder and describe the outcome in plain language. Nitro MCP handles the rest.

What you can do with Nitro MCP

Nitro MCP helps you accelerate every document task, from converting and merging files to extracting data and running eSign workflows end-to-end. Simply describe the outcome and Nitro MCP does the rest.

Extract data

Eliminate manual data entry with Nitro's secure data extraction. Pull names, dates, totals, and tables out of PDFs and straight into your spreadsheets or databases.

Reshape and transform

Collapse file prep into a single prompt: convert, merge, split, rotate, delete pages, find and replace, compress, and watermark across multiple documents—turning scattered files into one polished, share-ready document.

Convert and compress

Move between any format and shrink files down for email or archive without leaving the conversation—turning Word docs, scans, and more into clean, send-ready PDFs in seconds.

Protect and secure

Secure documents before they leave your business. Redact sensitive content, flatten finalized files to prevent restoration, and apply or remove password protection, so every file you share is compliant and protected.

Smart Redact is our new AI product that automates and accelerates document redaction. It uses advanced natural language processing to instantly surface over 30+ categories of PII—including unstructured data that pattern-based tools miss—automating manual redaction workflows and freeing your team to focus on higher-value tasks.

Total visibility, complete control

It includes intuitive, easy-to-use tools that give users complete control over the final result; you can quickly review suggested redactions, make any necessary adjustments, and publish your secure documents.

Built to meet the highest security standards

Smart Redact is built to meet the highest global security standards. Every file is encrypted, stored temporarily during redaction, and each redaction permanently strips all visible and hidden data.

Additionally, secure processing ensures your data is never used for training generative AI. It is protected by encryption during transmission and storage with strictly controlled access.

Every regulated industry. Every redaction workflow.

From legal documents to medical records, Smart Redact handles sensitive data protection wherever it's required—meeting your industry's specific compliance standards while dramatically reducing manual redaction time.

Connect with the Nitro team to get access to instant, accurate redaction you control and streamline your redaction workflows.

Envelopes allow you to combine multiple documents within one streamlined signature workflow, helping teams manage complex agreements, reduce manual steps, and keep signing processes organized. Whether you're sending onboarding packets, multi-document contracts, procurement bundles, or policy updates, envelopes provide a more organized and professional signing experience for both senders and recipients.

Simplify and streamline your signing workflows

With envelopes, you can group related documents and send them as a single, structured request. Recipients receive one unified signing flow, and you maintain a clear, consolidated audit trail for all documents.

Important to note: Signature requests created through Nitro PDF Pro or any third-party integration (including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Salesforce, Zapier, and Power Automate) will continue to generate single-document workflows. These requests will appear normally in your eSign dashboard, and can be found under the Single documents tab of the relevant section in Nitro Sign. Envelopes support will be added to these integrations in future releases.

Ready to use envelopes?

Envelopes are now available to all Nitro Sign users. No setup required; simply create a new signature request and add multiple documents to get started.

Start using envelopes today in Nitro Sign, or reach out to your Nitro representative for more details.
