Nitro PDF Software Acquires PDF Download
One of the Web's most popular PDF products joins the Nitro PDF family
Nitro PDF Software, the company that revolutionized PDF software with its launch of the first true alternative to Adobe® Acrobatreg}, today announced the acquisition of PDF Download, one of the Web's most popular PDF products.
The free Firefox extension -- one of the most popular of all time -- helps millions of users regain control over the PDF files they encounter online, making browser crashes and slow downloads a thing of the past, while offering a free PDF-to-HTML conversion service.
Created by Denis Remondini, PDF Download has been downloaded more than 5.5 million times, is available in over 20 languages, and is providing more than half a million free PDF-to-HTML conversions per month.
With the network infrastructure required to support such incredible popularity, Nitro PDF Software has stepped in to allow the PDF Download service to remain free by providing the necessary bandwidth and hardware.
"We've always been huge fans of PDF Download," said Sam Chandler, CEO, Nitro PDF Software.
"PDF Download makes dealing with PDFs in Firefox a breeze, and the free PDF-to-HTML service is so useful. Everyone at Nitro is a PDF Download user, so we're excited to be able to support the product going forward."
For PDF Download users, there will be no change to the way the product functions, and it will remain free and open source. However, users will soon notice even faster PDF-to-HTML conversion speeds, and Nitro PDF Software intends to add several new features to the product in 2008.
