generate PDF's with the CAM generator

Former Member

Hello

when generating the manufacturing data for my pcb projects I also need to produce various PDF's that consist of different layers. It would be very useful to generate a complete package with the CAM generator and not having to use the ULP cam2print since that is extra work and can be forgotten.

I know other people have asked for the same/similar feature - so there is a demand for it.

Regards

Axel

    Here's a cam job file that I use to create Postscript files for each

    layer. Once the job is done I run a single Bash script (Linux, OSX,

    MinGW or Cygwin under Windows) to automatically convert and rotate all

    the Postscript files to PDF. I'd love to be able to perform this in a

    single step, but I don't mind this so much.

     

    You'll have to tailor these files to suit your requirements, but it

    should serve as a starting point.
