Not sure that gerbview would save unless it allows you to edit.
And I don't need to use it, so haven't.

I can't get the onscreen layer to save the GERBER instructions.
Any hints?

GERBVIEW




?GerbView? is an advanced but easy to use application that enables you to view, print and convert Gerber, ODB++, Adobe PDF, Excellon and HPGL/2 files.

GerbView supports RS-274D and RS-274X Gerber formats, and you can use it to convert your older Gerber files to the new RS-274X extended format. The new extended Gerber format contains embedded aperture information, and using this format will minimize the risk for errors during the manufacturing of the PCB.

With GerbView's PDF to CAD capability you can convert your Adobe PDF files to Gerber or Autodesk DXF.


so there you you have it.......
and
there must be something missing in how I am selecting the layer....
because it thinks it can convert the PDF to GERBER.
