Re: [libreoffice-users] re. paperless groups ...

Hi :)
Errr, this Nitro thing seems to be just a 3rd party product for reading/writing Pdfs, which 
LibreOffice does very well on it's own.  It also seems to be able to take scanned images (Ocr = 
Optical Character Recognition) and  convert into editable Pdfs and allows editing words inside such 
Pdfs and others.  But you have to buy it and there are a LOT of other 3rd party products out there 
that do the same thing.  Foxit for example.  Do we know if Nitro is OpenSource or proprietary?  
Regards from
Tom :)
