Gerbview: View, print and convert Gerber, HPGL/2, Adobe PDF and Excellon files

Gerbview is a program that offers you the ability to print, view and markup Gerber, Adobe PDF, HPGL/2 and Excellon files in a simple manner. While it was designed with user-friendliness in mind, Gerbview offers a whole array of powerful options for all of its capabilities.

With this tool you can view your design on your computer’s screen or as a hardcopy. The workspace can contain one or several files and you can save it and resume your work at a later time. To view the entire design all you have to do is reload the workspace.

Any markups you add to the workspace – such as lines, arrows, ellipses, text, images...etc – will be kept in a different file.

Gerbview also lets you convert Gerbet, Excellon and HPGL file formats to Adobe PDF, Autodexk DXF and other formats.
