    Best layout tool I have ever found.  Allegro and a plugin called "CircuitSpace".   You can get a license from EMA-EDA.

    Has a plugin for Adobe Acrobat that gives you a crossprobe communication feature, even as you are routing the board.

    Curious if you have an intelligent PDF for it to read though.   I think it started out as a method to crossprobe DXDesigner/ViewDraw schematics.
