Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] ExpressPCB software mirror image?

You might try one of the free (free of cost and free of legal encumberances) pdf reader/editors.  Many of them support such simple operations as reversal.  Check the listings on <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software> and at <http://pdfreaders.org/>  I use Foxit, Evince and GhostView, depending on circumstances and need.

HTH,
Donald.

Malcolm,

I have Adobe Reader 8.1.5. The Tools menu has three choices (Select & 
Zoom, Object Data and Customize Toolbars) but Advanced Editing is not 
among them.

Perhaps Advanced Editing is available in Acrobat but not the reader?
