I want to export a PDF from KiCad that shows how the components are distributed in a board I designed, with no tracks at all. I want something like this.

How could I do that?

  • First click File->Print
  • Next select the layers you want to export (if you want only the footprints then the ones highlighted are the ones you want)
  • Click preview to see what you did
  • Click print when you are ready
  • Select "Microsoft XPS printer" (if you are using windows, else I am sure whatever platform you have has something different)
