Gerber Viewer and Converter

GerbView can convert your Gerber, HPGL/2 and Excellon files to Autodesk DXF, Autodesk DWF, Adobe PDF and other formats.
You can combine several different loaded layers and create a multi-layered PDF, DXF or DWF file.
If the formats supports it, you can also convert a selection of layers to a multi-page file, where each layer will be a separate page.
Please see the complete list of supported formats below for more information.

GerbView can rasterize single files, or whole workspaces, and save to one of the supported raster formats.

You may print your design scaled or in real size. All Windows based plotters and printers are supported. Poster mode, also known as tiled pages, can be used to print large designs and drawings on for example several smaller A4/Letter pages.
