pdf2gerb: Convert PDF to Gerber and NC Drill formats

A few months ago, I had a problem I wanted to design a printed circuit board in Adobe Illustrator, but also wanted to send it out to BatchPCB for manufacturing. Board houses require that designs be submitted in Gerber format, the creation of which generally requires special CAD software. At first I thought my only recourse would be to etch the board at home, but I did a little research and came to the conclusion that converting PDF files to Gerber format was a viable option. After a week of Perl hacking, I had a script that would convert each layer of an uncompressed PDF 1.3 file to its corresponding Gerber and NC Drill files, ready for submission to any PCB manufacturer. The result is pdf2gerb, which youve found here.

How does it work?

It turns out that the PDF description of vector artwork is surprisingly similar to the Gerber representation, and for good reason. PDF files contain lines of text which move a pen from point to point, drawing lines and changing stroke weights. Similarly, Gerber files contain lines of text which move a photoplotter head around, exposing lines and changing aperture dimensions. Converting from one format is simply a matter of understanding the grammar. For example, to move to a coordinate (350, 450) in a PDF file, Id write 350 450 m. In a Gerber file, Id write X350Y450D02. .5 w in a PDF file changes the current stroke weight to .5 points, while G54D10 in a Gerber file changes the current aperture to a predefined size specified in the header. By stepping through the PDF file line by line and using regular expressions to match and translate commands between the two grammars, I can build up an equivalent drawing in Gerber format.

What about the drill file?

Simply building up a pattern of copper traces only gets us halfway we still need to tell the manufacturers CAM hardware where to drill holes for our component leads. This is done by specifying an NC Drill file, which (like a Gerber file) lists the drill size and coordinates for each hole in our board. Ive chosen to represent drill holes as solid white circles in Illustrator they look correct when placed atop solid black circles (which represent solder pads and are converted to

plotter flash commands). Each white circle in the PDF artwork is converted to a correctly-sized drill command in the NC Drill file.

How do we handle multiple layers?

Gerber and NC Drill files are created for each layer in the PDF file. Because manufacturers expect the bottom layer to line up nicely with the top layer, you can create a properlooking, top-down board in Illustrator and output it directly to Gerber format.

An example
Here is a board I designed in Illustrator, converted to Gerber using the pdf2gerb script, and sent off for printing to BatchPCB:

To accomplish this, I did the following: 1. Did a rough layout of the sketches by hand on graph paper 2. Transferred the sketches into properly-dimensioned layouts in Illustrator Created several layers: Top Copper, Bottom Copper, Top Silkscreen, Soldermask, and Drill. Drew holes in the drill layer as a solid black circle (for the pad) with a solid white circle on top (for the drill location and diameter) Used the pen tool on the Top and Bottom layers to connect pads with appropriately-weighted traces Drew solid black circles in the Soldermask layer to cover each pad Drew a rectangle around the board in the Silkscreen layer 3. Copied the Drill layer into both top and bottom layers (which may not have been necessary) 4. Saved the document as a copy in PDF format Selected PDF 1.3 format Unchecked Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities Unchecked Embed Page Thumbnails

http://swannman.wordpress.com/projects/pdf2gerb/

On the Compression page, unchecked Compress Text and Line Art 5. Ran pdf2gerb.pl /path/to/circuit.pdf 6. Renamed Top Copper.drd to Drill.drd 7. Made a .zip file of Top Copper.grb, Bottom Copper.grb, Top Silkscreen.grb, Soldermask.grb, and Drill.drd 8. Submitted the .zip file to BatchPCB You can download a .zip containing the files from each step here.

Support, licensing, and caveats

pdf2gerb is licensed as open-source under the GNU GPL 3.0. Source code is available at GitHub.

Where do I download pdf2gerb?

You can download the script here. Right-click on the download link and choose Save Linked File As, then save it do the desktop. Next, open a Terminal window, navigate to the desktop folder, and type chmod 755 pdf2gerb.pl to mark it as an executable file. To use pdf2gerb, navigate to the directory that contains it and type ./pdf2gerb.pl /path/to /circuit.pdf. Gerber and drill files will be output to the PDF file directory. Update: pdf2gerb has been updated to version 1.1 and now supports PDF output from Illustrator CS3, which frequently uses the cm command to transform the coordinate plane. It also approximates bezier curves as two straight lines rather than ignoring them. Update 2: pdf2gerb 1.2 is now available with support for users who, due to application limitations, cannot output filled circles in their PDF. pdf2gerb will now turn stroked circles into a drill hole and copper pad as shown in this diagram. Note that the stacked-filledcircles approach is still preferred, as it gives you the most control over hole and pad size. Update 3: pdf2gerb 1.3 is now available and supports some forms of bezier curve specifically the v and y operators. Download an example file with supported curves here. Update 3: pdf2gerb 1.4 is now available with better support for CMYK input files. It also outputs drill files in decimal format (no leading/trailing zeroes suppression) so that the file is easier to parse by PCB houses and viewer software.

1. step great! i understand why curved beziers are a problem, but arent circles from illustrator beziers as well? anyway. i waited for something like this and will soon test it. wonderful its pearl, and even better its os x by default :-) best regards, step

2. svo This is awesome, but you made me really curious why did you specifically want to design this one in Illustrator and not use a CAD/CAE tool to design it? There are free, there are cheap EE tools like KiCad, FreePCB or Eagle? 3. Matt Swann @step: Yep, circles are bzier paths but they translate into a single Gerber command that just takes the radius and position. Much easier than stepping through a polynomial function to determine what the path looks like (though it wouldnt be burdensome to add). @svo: The motivation to use Adobe Illustrator is threefold. First, Ive already spent the time to learn its user interface some of the CAD apps I looked at were particularly unintuitive. Second, I use Mac OS X, and that significantly limits the number of PCB applications available to me. Finally, the free apps that I found either fell into the unintuitive bucket or had a board size restriction that wouldnt work for my application. As a hobbyist, it was important for me to get from paper to board quickly and cheaply. It only took a couple of hours to write this script (after Id learned the PDF and Gerber grammars), and I learned much in the process. 4. Russell Nelson This is kinda cool, but a program like pcb for Linux does this out of the box. Open source, no limitations. But I guess its more fun to use a Mac! :-) 5. Matt Swann Russell, I have PCB (and the rest of the gEDA suite) on my Mac, but I couldnt abide its UI. Since producing PCBs isnt something Ill do often, I had a hard time convincing myself that overcoming the learning curve was worth the effort. The idea here is to free hobbyists and artists from learning a new CAD app and allow them to use a vector art tool of their choice. 6. svo Thanks Matt, that sounds reasonable enough to me :) And I agree that gEDA is unbearable and should not exist. Great work! 7. Matt Swann svo: And I agree that gEDA is unbearable and should not exist. LOL, though I wouldnt go quite that far. Its a strong suite, it just needs some usability enhancements!

8. step @matt: so if beziers other than circles are possible, pleaaaaase go that way or hint me in the right direction. i gotta send you a one of my pcb designs. i didnt finish them because they were unproducable being done in illustrator. beziers would be the killing feature for pdf2gerb ! and one reason for not using anything else than illustrator to do board design at least for me anyway great great work //step 9. Matt Swann You might be able to work around the lack of bzier curve support by approximating the curve with straight lines eg instead of a smooth curve, make it using 8-10 straight segments. If you were to add bzier curve support to pdf2gerb, the Adobe PDF documentation has the function that youd use. Plug the numbers from the curve into the formula, then iterate through the function to get (x,y) coordinates and plot them out. 10. Jose Hidalgo Hi Matt. Like other people, I have some trouble running this useful script on OS X (10.3.9). The script seems to work for 1-2 seconds, then nothing happens and theres no output at all.

there are no BDC..EMC blocks in the PDF file perhaps it was saved in a compressed format? 12. Andrew Jukes Hi Matt I am wondering if you were able to sort out Joses problem as I think I have hit the same one. Saving my pcb design from Illustrator 12.0.1 and following your step by step instructions doesnt seem to produce a file with BDC..EMC blocks, so pdf2gerb wont work. I am running MacOS 10.4.11. The script is a great idea. Hope you can help me as at the moment I cant see any other way forward. Regards Andrew 13. Matt Swann Andrew, The most common reason for this to happen is forgetting to uncheck Compress Text and Line Art in the PDF export dialog could you double-check that this is off when youre doing the export? Im also using Illustrator 12.0.1. Alternatively, if youd like to share the .ai file I can give it a go to make sure it exports fine whatever youre comfortable with. 14. Matt Swann Andrew, I poked around your .ai file a bit I was able to repro the issue with no BDC/EBC blocks appearing in the PDF output. It turns out that there are several Live Paint Groups in the file when I deleted these, I was able to save a working PDF file. Looks like these groups used transparency (?) and were causing the PDF writer to flatten the entire document into one layer before saving. I was able to save the document in PDF 1.5 or 1.6 format and check the create top-level layers box to create proper-looking layers without deleting these groups, but I didnt try converting the resulting document to Gerber. It would probably work fine, but no guarantees 15. derick Ive been using Illustrator 10 under Wine on Linux for quite some time.

Michael Fleming This is terrific. I use CorelDraw to quickly design RF, analog, and digital boards. Then I send them out to a gerber conversion house as eps.

@Steve many PCB software packages also produce Gerber output. Thats likely to be a better route than pdf2gerb for this case. If you still want to give pdf2gerb a try, make sure that the PDF output from your PCB software is in an uncompressed format (looks like lines of text when you open it in Notepad) and that your drill holes are represented as white filled circles atop black filled circles. 32. Mark Kupferberg Can this script be used to convert PDFs created from scans of mylar PCB fabrication drawings into gerber files? Any other ideas to doing this kind of conversion? 33.

Secondly, square pads for SMD components are converted, but appear in stange positions when i view the Gerber file.

Tom Matt Swann Hi Tom, Great questions. pdf2gerb doesnt officially support polygons or rectangular pads, unfortunatelyjust lines (straight or bezier) and circles. Depending on how unsupported elements appear in the PDF file, theyll either be skipped or misinterpreted as other things. Ill probably get around to supporting these at some point, but with a new baby in the house I cant say when that will be. Re: the drill sizes pdf2gerb doesnt make any attempt to snap to well-known drill sizes it looks at the circle that represents the drill hole and uses that diameter verbatim. Do the sizes match up to what youre seeing in the PDF?

Any specific layer names? ie. Layer3 = Soldermask Layer2 = Drill Layer1 = Traces Thanks Matt Swann Thanks! No, specific layer names are not required. I output a trace file for every layer I find if it has traces a soldermask is just a special case of a trace layer and a drill file for every layer where I find drill holes. The output files share the layer names. 44. jorbedo Matt, how can I do rectangles, the pins of the connector on my project are rectangular, instead of capsules (What I got so far) on the PDF they look perfect but not on the grb file.
