PDF workspace
Reading, comments, forms and handwritten signatures belong in the same workflow. Keep the document open and keep moving.
Explore this workflow →OCR & tables
Read text from a scan or selected area. Recover useful rows and columns, check the preview, and continue in Excel.
Explore this workflow →PDF to Word
Choose editable flow for rewriting, or precise page layout when the original appearance matters. Two different jobs, two deliberate modes.
Explore this workflow →Reading & study
Books, dictionary lookup, vocabulary and reading notes work together, so useful discoveries have somewhere to go.
Explore this workflow →Find your files
Search names or extractable text across a folder. See what is being checked and what could not be searched.
Explore this workflow →Media learning
Play supported media, search available subtitles, jump to a line and repeat a chosen section with A–B looping.
Explore this workflow →Images & specialist tools
Inspect ordinary pictures, RAW and supported specialist files. Use the tools suited to the file, rather than treating every format as the same picture.
Explore this workflow →Batch & comparison
Queue supported files for PDF export, or compare supported document revisions to see what changed. Pro tools for work that comes in sets.

A few useful answers
Does 638 mean every format has every feature?
No. The count is registered file extensions and aliases. Dedicated viewing, basic preview, system decoding and information inspection are different capabilities. Text search, editing and conversion have their own supported ranges.
Do local files have to be uploaded?
Ordinary local viewing, OCR, search and conversion operate on the device and do not require uploading document content to the NurViewer account service. Sign-in, licence verification and quotas use the account service. User-chosen external links and services have their own behaviour.
Is Free a timed trial?
Free does not expire. Initial Windows use requires Google or Microsoft account verification. Common-format reading and ordinary document/image PDF export are unlimited; advanced processing has the published limits.
Can I continue a long conversion later?
Supported EPUB PDF export and Word/PowerPoint delivery retain progress. Word/PowerPoint parts can be saved as a cumulative document. Daily allowances still apply to new processing; saving retained completed output does not consume it again.
Will a folder search read all my scanned books?
No automatic OCR is started. Search covers extractable text, including embedded OCR text layers. Coverage and skip reasons are visible in search records.
Which platforms and future features are available?
NurViewer for Windows is available in Microsoft Store. Android is coming soon. iOS and macOS are planned. The download page links to the official listing. Future subscriptions, cloud sync, translation, speech recognition and full Office/image editing are not advertised as included current features.
DWG
DWG preview limits
DWG is only a basic read-only 2D preview. NurViewer is not a CAD application; complex objects and external references may be incomplete. Please do not buy NurViewer for DWG. Fuller DWG support is planned only for a possible future subscription edition, with no date.
Scan plans and allowances
Applies to the updated scanner in version 1.0.2; for an already installed version, follow its in-app limits. Basic crop, rotation, enhancement, multipage scans and ID layout are included within scan allowance.
| Capability | Free | Standard | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| New scan pages (camera and import) | 5 successfully processed pages/day | No commercial page cap | No commercial page cap |
| Scanned PDF quality and branding | Balanced, small NurViewer footer | High/lossless, no brand watermark | High/lossless, no brand watermark |
| Flatten curved scanned pages | Included | Included | Included |
Flattening and precise Word layout are available in all tiers. Precise Word shares the existing editable Word/PowerPoint allowance: Free 2, Standard 300 and Pro 1,500 pages/day, with existing branding rules. This is not an additional allowance. Scan and OCR allowances are separate: OCR provides Free 2, Standard 300 and Pro 1,500 pages/day. Multipage searchable PDF requires Standard/Pro and uses OCR allowance. Daily allowances reset at midnight UTC; existing reduced offline allowances apply after prolonged disconnection. Re-editing, cropping, reordering and repeated export do not count again; failures do not count. A retake or replacement photo is a new page. An ID front/back counts as 2, even on one A4 sheet. Originals, drafts and completed results are kept when allowance is exhausted. Existing exports are never retroactively watermarked. Ordinary document/image-to-PDF permissions are unchanged.
