Ya know, this reminds me of when I tried out 15 desktop video capture
programs in 3 days--they all blur together.

I bought VeryPDF's PDFcamp (and a couple other tools), and then later
migrated to NitroPDF.  I never owned CutePDF, according to my files.  I
confused Cute and Very, but had tried both around the same period.

I like Nitro, actually.  On most releases.  :)  They keep changing how the
bookmarks work.  In some versions they'd go to just the top of the page
containing the bookmark, in other versions, it was to the pixel at the top
of the scroll area.  For an entire version, they didn't have signing
working because they didn't renew their sublicense of the technology, but
that was about a year or two ago.

Overall, though, I like Nitro.  

The feature list is very much the same.  I'd have to demo current versions
to make a decent comparison.  Cute is cheaper, though.
