Are there any pdf programmes that offer the harvesting to database utility that Acrobat Pro does, or is this a proprietary function for Adobe?

I purchased this online . However when I tried to download it my internet security, Kaspersky, detected a Trojan and it proved impossible to override. I emailed Nitro PDF support (there is no contact telephone number) but have had no response. I have now received the CD and again my internet security detected a Trojan when I tried to download the Pro version. So be warned, I would not buy this again and at the moment I have paid £100 for useless software

Nitro Professional 6 is an absolute rip off
Nitro produces extremely large PDF files, crashes frequently, enlarges PDF files that it is supposed to edit, and so on.
The Nitro people seem to be only good at advertising their product. They simply raise people's expectations but then their product just does not deliver ...

Has this been fixed?
Does anybody know if the product/ supplier has been fixed of the above problems?

Nitro 6 _Still a Poor Relative
I too succumbed to the on disc trial Jan 2012; must be an age thing!
Had forgotten - trialed this product couple of years ago and dismissed as not quite fit for purpose...back to Adobe.
The reality for the Nitro people is a second grade product competing against the might of Adobe...guess what, it's a struggle.
Hence they resort to over promising and under delivering.
That said for many, if your requirements are basic, this product is fine [assuming you accept occasional crashes and glitches].
Nitro 7 may have dealt with these issues, however, same old, same old; you probably get what you pay for.
Cheers, Trio [getting more cynical as the years go by]
