… try iText Express 3.1 (free) or iText Pro '08 (US$15).

Both are fast, lean and deceptively simple. I use them for just about everything from simple DTPing to managing DLs and weblinks.

They take you back to the capable simplicity that used to be the hallmark of everything Mac.

Nisus always had trouble with making a clear usable program for the rest of us and whilst it had its diehard fans they always were too geeky and forgiving of its flaws. I guess they were starry eyed thinking of what it could be instead of what it was.

If you are casting around for alternatives… - Sorin Paliga

Your comparison is indeed useless as you compare uncomparable applications.
If you wish to indeed find flaws in Nisus, perhaps you should use it a little bit.

Please, anyone reading this comment, disregard it. "rubiyat" or whatever it is exactly, is clearly the developer of iText.
