RPS3D PDF portable

[Burkhard]

I`m interested to see a portable version of RPS 3D PDF.
Is it possible?

Hi Burkhard

By portable I presume you mean could it ported to be made to work on a Mac.
I've had a look at the RPS Forum and RPS Wiki , but no luck there.

I'm sure Al Hart will soon see this and give you a definitive answer as he is really the only person who could tell you.

Not really MAC, more to take it with me on an USB stick for using it at different situations. ( No installation on a desktop PC ). Thanks for the response.

Hi Burkhard

If you don't mind I have copied your original post over to the RPS forum in the 3D PDF Forum

Re MAC Version

RPS does not plan any MAC versions of its Plug-ins at this time.

Re MEMORY STICK

This should be possible. You should be able to copy the contents of C:\Program Files\Render Plus Systems\3D_PDF onto a memory stick, place it into a computer and run skp_to_3d_pdf.exe from the memory stick.

We will give it a try.

However, I can think of a few problems.

1. Some Visual Studio DLL's may not be on the target computer.

If we discover what they are, then they can be copied onto the memory stick and that may work (or we may have to create a new release of 3D PDF with the missing DLLs)

2. You will not be licensed to run RPS 3D PDF on the target machine.

I don't know how we will solve this problem. We can discuss it after you get the comcept working properly.

There are 2 other solutions to the general problem.

1. You can "remote log in" to your own computer, which is licensed for RPS 3D PDF from the client machines, run RPS 3D PDF remotely, load a file from the client machine and process it.

2. You can bring your portable computer with you to the client location, put the .SKP file from the client machine onto your portable, and use your portable to create the PDF file.
