I believe the problem is that Nitro says I have activated it 2 times and have 0 activations left. DE-ACtivating it doesn't help at all. How can I increase my activations (for the same software - Nitro Pro 11) ? Nitro support is worst I've ever seen for any software in over 30 years of PC use -- no email support, no phone numbers, no help unless I send in Another $50 for premium support. I shouldn't have to pay to fix software I've already purchased and have had less than one year!

Merzman47 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 specific problem is that NitroPro creates a PDF, but can't find it (shortcut no good) when I try to look at it and print it. Have reinstalled several times and program works for a short time (hour or two) and later stops working correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzman47 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Thank you for trying to help Allain. Answers to your questions: 1. Nitro Pro was able to create PDF but you can't find where it is saved? Please explain it further for clarity. I do a PRINT for an internet/website document that I want to save, and save it to NitroPro 11 rather than my printer. All seems to work fine until later when I want to look at it or physically print it, the document no longer appears in "Recent Documents". When I search my computer for it I can usually find it in windows explorer, but when I click on it, I'm told windows can't find the document and is searching for it (for ever). 2. What build of Nitro Pro are you working with? You can find this out by clicking on 'About Nitro Pro' under the Help tab (format is 11.X.X.X, e.g. 11.0.7.411) or you can go to Control Panel > Programs and Features.: 11.0.8.470 Was created using the 64-bit msi from Nitro's site after first un-installing all previous Nitro Pro software using the cleanup tool. 3. A screen shot of the error message you are receiving and/or any important information. Would be happy to do so but your gonitro.com website doesn't let me upload files. Give me an email address and I'll email a JPG of the error message. Important to note that I previously used version 11.0.8.425 without problems. A few weeks ago I erroneously thought I 'd get a free update to Nitro Pro 12 as I had the Nitro 11 less than one year. Unfortunately the Nitro 12 software installed as a trial version and wiped out my purchased version of 11.0.8.425 (might have be 11.0.7.425 rather than 8.425, not sure). I didn't want a trial version or to have to buy an entirely new version after 11 months of use. I uninstalled Nitro 12 and re-installed my original version 11 from 2018. Didn't work correctly (same problem with not saving files to recent pDF docs and not finding shortcut. One of the screens still showed Nitro Pro 12 (I have a JPG I can send you showing a tab with Nitro 11 Properties but showing Nitro 12 on the tab ?!?

Merzman47 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Original version WAS 11.07.425. I (again) uninstalled the 11.0.8.470 today and installed the original 11.0.7.425 I originally received. No joy. Now this version won't create P DFs either. Nitro's support tools program shows I'm missing pieces of the PDF Creator. Please send me an email address where I can attach the Nitro Support Tools report and screenshots. Does not seem to be any way to insert attachments on this website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzman47 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Allain - Just to re-iterate what I believe is the problem: I mistakenly downloaded NitroPro 12 (trial version) thinking it was a free upgrade to my version 11. I uninstalled it using Windows 7 Control Panel uninstall and re-installed a later version of NitroPro 11 that was on the Nitro website. Program did NOT work correctly. I later got a more powerful uninstaller (IOBit ) to uninstall files that were not removed by either Windows Control Panel or the Nitro "cleaner". Have not gotten this to work right since. I've worked PCs for over 30 years and have beforethis been usually able to fix problems by uninstalling and re-installing the software. This is the first failure I can remember. Please advise if you have a better "uninstaller" to use and a better NitroPro11 file for me to use (64-bit Windows 7 Prof).

Merzman47 Posted March 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Allain - Thanks again for your help. I followed your directions above. Only glitch I had was that my BitDefender 2018 antivirus would not let the cleanup tool's vbs files run. I disabled all of my Bitdefender functions, and was able to successfully run the cleanup/uninstall. I then downloaded and ran the 11.0.8.470 "msi" file you recommended. However --- I am STILL unable to create PDFs. Problem seems to be with the PDF creator as per the below part of the post-installation Nitro Pro Support Tool report. Please note the missing pieces. Looking forward to any ideas on how to fix this. If you need me to email you any files please provide another email that I can attach files to.
