Where Does Nitro PDF Pro Store Settings?
Nitro PDF Pro keeps settings in HKLM plus HKCU registry keys with a token cache file in AppData folder.
Last updated
Nitro PDF Pro stores configuration in the Windows registry rather than config files. Machine defaults live under HKLM Nitro keys. User choices live under HKCU. The Microsoft account token cache sits in Roaming AppData beside them.
Edit through the app or deployment utility when possible. Direct registry edits suit admins pushing defaults to fleets. Version numbers sit inside key paths, so 14 and CV keys differ across installs.
Where Nitro PDF stores this, by platform
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nitro\PDF Pro and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nitro
Machine defaults in HKLM, user settings in HKCU, token cache in Roaming. Version number embedded in paths. Admin edits need backups first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Nitro settings to a new PC?
Export the HKCU Nitro key and copy the Roaming Nitro folder with the app closed. Machine defaults in HKLM travel separately for IT-managed installs. Reimport both on the new PC.
How do IT admins preset Nitro defaults?
Open the deployment utility or edit the documented registry values as an admin. Print, updater and assistant toggles each have their own keys. Back up the registry before changing shared machines.
