Extract text from Dynamics NAV settings (ZUP)
To convert ZUP settings to another format, you need Microsoft Dynamics NAV or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "User Profile Configuration" file type, you need software like Microsoft Dynamics NAV or a similar tool.
The .ZUP extension represents a frustrating dichotomy in file management, primarily serving as the proprietary 'Zoom User Profile' for older versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision). These binary files store local user preferences - such as window positions, column widths, and active filters - locking valuable configuration data into a format that standard text editors cannot read. Users often encounter these files when the ERP software crashes due to corruption, forcing a manual deletion or 'reset' rather than a true conversion. This proprietary lock-in means you cannot simply convert a NAV .ZUP to PDF or DOCX to view your settings.
However, in the e-learning sector, a .ZUP file is frequently just a disguised ZIP archive created by tools like Articulate Storyline for SCORM course packaging. These are far more flexible; the primary friction here is the obscure extension preventing your operating system from treating it as a folder.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ZUP converter.
