Create a single PDF with all layers of my PCB each on their own page

[agasontex]

Hello all,

I am trying to generate a single PDF with all layers of my PCB, with each layer on their own page. For the record I am currently using Kicad 10.0.1.

I thought this was possible using pdf_pcb_print before, but since it is advertised as deprecated I went to pcb_print. However, I can't seem to be able to do what I want: I either get one PDF file for each PCB layer, or one PDF with all player superposed on the same page.

If anyone can help me I'd gladly appreciate it.

kibot.yaml snippet that gives me 1 PDF per layer:

outputs:
  - name: "print_pcb"
    dir: "Assembly"
    type: pcb_print
    output_id: "pcb"
    options:
      pages:
        - layers:
            - "F.Cu"
          repeat_for_layer: "F.Cu"
          repeat_layers: "all"
      format: "PDF"
      output: "${VAR_DATE}_${PCB_VERSION}_PCB_${SHORT_DESC}_${SHA}_pcb-all.%x"
      force_edge_cuts: true
      page_number_as_extension: false

kibot.yaml snippet that gives me 1 PDF with 1 page with all layers cobined:

outputs:
  - name: "print_pcb"
    dir: "Assembly"
    type: pcb_print
    output_id: "pcb"
    options:
      pages:
        - layers:
            - "all"
      format: "PDF"
      output: "${VAR_DATE}_${PCB_VERSION}_PCB_${SHORT_DESC}_${SHA}_pcb-all.%x"
      force_edge_cuts: true
      page_number_as_extension: false

Thanks in advance !

Just run KiBot with --quick-start it will generate a configuration plenty of outputs configured for your project, look for the pcb_print output and you'll get a good example.
You can also take a look at the config used in the variants example
And the tests/yaml_samples is full of examples, some good and some bad, but you can run them and see what they do.

Thank you, I went for a manual addition of all layers in the yaml file.

Remember you have some shortcuts, like copper is all the copper layers
