Product snapshot
ViewCompanion Premium is a Windows-based utility for professionals who need reliable file inspection, printing, and format conversion. It’s built to handle a wide variety of technical and document file types while providing a workflow-oriented set of tools for CAD and design users.
Supported file types and CAD interoperability
- Gerber, CGM, and PLT among legacy plotting and manufacturing formats
- Autodesk DWF and other CAD-centric containers
- PDF and PDF/A standards for document exchange
- Native or converted Autodesk DXF for use in mainstream CAD applications like AutoCAD
Conversion and export capabilities
ViewCompanion Premium converts many input files into several output formats to maintain compatibility across design and drafting tools. It can translate plotter and vector formats into DXF, export documents to common image and document formats, and save outputs in forms suitable for CAD editing or archival storage.
Document composition and splitting tools
The application also includes utilities to combine separate files into a single multi-page document and to break large files into smaller pieces. Splitting can be performed by specifying a page count or by limiting file size, enabling easier distribution and targeted publishing.
Precision measurement and reporting
Built-in measurement tools let you take accurate length and area calculations directly within a file. Measurement results can be exported in spreadsheet-friendly formats such as Excel or CSV for downstream analysis and reporting.
Trial access and an alternate option
A fully functional 30-day evaluation lets prospective users test the program’s full feature set before committing.
Suggested alternative: SHAREit Free — a different utility that some users consider as an option depending on their workflow needs.
