Transforming a pdf to Gerber

[imzuker]

HI!
I want to build some projects off tonepad, and since they have a PCB layout in the pdf file of the project i would like to use it.
now i just need to take the picture in the pdf and make it a gerber file. anyone has useful programs for that purpose?

I guess you could recreate the layout in Eagle and then create gerber files, but tonepad sells pcbs. For a board or two would be cheaper to just buy one from tonepad.

Unless, of course, you needed several hundred.

my dad has the machine at work so it wont cost nothing.
anyway there is no other way?
maybe i'll ask tonepad to email me the gerber files if they have em.

Good luck with that 

The fastest route is redoing the layout in eagle.
