SKP Export for Acrobat - SketchUp SKP file export plug-in for Acrobat

SKP Export for Acrobat is a SketchUp SKP file export plug-in for Acrobat®. This plug-in gives Acrobat the ability to export geometric data from Acrobat to SKP files.

SKP Export for Acrobat reads 3D annotations in a PDF file and tessellates them into polygon meshes comprising of triangle or quad faces. It then exports this 3D data to objects in a SketchUp SKP file.

SKP Export for Acrobat is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Acrobat and adds a new menu called "SKPExport" to the Acrobat menu containing these newly added commands.

IMPORTANT! Purchasing a Subscription is highly recommended since it the most cost effective way of keeping your software up to date. Moreover, Subscription entitles you to get a second free perpetual license for your laptop, among many other benefits. For details please read the SYCODE License and Subscription Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Our licenses are single computer licenses and are locked to each computer they are installed on. Basically, the license key is specific to the computer's Host ID (the MAC address of the computer), and will not work on another computer. The installer picks up the physical MAC address of the network card connected to the computer which is basically “Ethernet adapter Network Connect Adapter”. So unless you change your network card, the key will always work even if you reinstall your operating system. If your internal network is periodically assigning a different Host ID to your computer, then please find a solution for this with your IT department.

Note: Downloading this software indicates your acceptance to the SYCODE Software License Agreement. The price mentioned above is for a single user license. For your bulk-licensing needs please contact us.
