What you get, how the license works, and what happens after checkout.
PolyPDF is a desktop PDF drawing app for Mac and Windows. It combines markup, calibrated measurement and takeoff, Symbol Search, local AEC OCR, forms, signatures, document preparation, and revision management in one workspace.
PolyPDF 1.5.6 (build 28) improves PDF overlay clarity when zooming and keeps overlay crops aligned on rotated pages, including after saving and reopening. It is available for Mac and Windows and included with existing PolyPDF 1.x licenses.
Download PolyPDF free on Mac or Windows. Open your PDFs, calibrate scale, mark up and review drawings, place up to 3 hand-created measurements in each document, and view Revision Packages.

Internet access is used for connected features such as PDF Maps, licensing, updates, purchases, account access, support, optional timestamping, and diagnostics when you opt in.
Open PolyPDF and choose Upgrade to PolyPDF Pro — it is in the PolyPDF menu on Mac (Command-Shift-L) and the Help menu on Windows (Ctrl-Shift-L). Paste the key from your email, which looks like PPM-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, and click Activate. There is no restart and no reinstall, and the drawing you have open keeps everything already on it.
