Mike Anderson 1 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 When searching a doc for any term, Nitro freezes. I does not seem to matter which PDF it or from what source. The freezing seems to be random - sometimes a doc can be searched OK and other times it cannot. Example: Searching the simple one-page PDFs that come with Nitro, like the [Edit Text] page for the search term "edit" returns a few results and freezes Nitro. Task Manager does not show any problem with Nitro Pro, but the only way to close the app is by ending the task. I've tried a [Modify] repair from Windows Add Remove programs. I've uninstalled Nitro and run the Nitro Install-Clean VB script. I've run CC Clean to remove all remaining Nitro Registry keys I've reinstalled Nitro Pro (13.16.2.300) x64 The problem remains....

In order for me to further assist you with your concern, could you please provide the following?: -A sample file (with sensitive information extracted) by sending me a private message so I can replicate it on my end. -Where is the file saved (local, a shared drive or an external drive) when you are trying to search? Can you check if you have the same issue when the file is saved locally? Thank you very much in advance and I am looking forward to hearing back from you.

Mike Anderson 1 Report post Posted May 16, 2020 Here's a solution that works for Windows 10 users: run NitroPDF.exe in Windows 8 compatibility mode. For any other users suffering from this issue, find the NitroPDF.exe in %PROGRAMFILES%\Nitro\Pro\13, then right-click the file to see the pop-up menu and select [Troubleshoot compatibility], then [Try the recommended settings]. Most likely it will set the compatibility mode to Windows 8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After working with multiple docs and performing multiple searches, Nitro freezes, even in Windows 8 compatibility mode. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samuel Freeman 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2020 This is such a problem. I have tried all the suggested remedies and nothing helps. The program continues to freeze on search. I may be forced to switch from Nitro after many years and many versions unless I can find a solution. Please, any other suggestions will be appreciated.
