Martha, You did not state which version you are using but in version 8 in family view of the person you want to link the document to. Click on the picture icon to open the Media Gallery, then click on Add Media button and on the dropdown list click on Document then locate your PDG and he will be linked to it. Version 7.5 do the same except when the Media Gallery opens click on the button labeled “File” and then locate the file you want linked. Hope this helps, Russ
From: Martha Graham Sent: Sunday, July 24, 2016 2:55 PM To: Mailing List for users of Legacy Family Tree software Subject: [LegacyUG] Searchable PDF's & linking Good Afternoon, I have a document that is very lengthy and which contains information on multiple collateral families I have in my active database. I can convert it to a searchable pdf so that any name or location can be easily found. What I would like to be able to do is to link the pdf to a particular person in my data - similar to the way images can be linked. I know that online links can be added to Events and Event Notes so that they come up on a FGS or Report, but is there a way to link to the pdf so that it can be accessed on a report created from Legacy without it having to be on an online source? Thanks for any suggestions. Martha In Los Osos, CA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
