You might try to work around it by making a gedcom from your new file and
then see if PAF will take it. I stopped using PAF years ago and forget how
it works but I know it will take and send Gedcoms.

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Transferring from PAF to Family Tree Maker or
Legacy

 

Does anyone know how to transfer PAF files to Legacy or Family Tree Maker
without losing the PAF. Recently on one of my computers  I transferred my
PAF to Legacy.  Everything transferred ok, but the PAF is now gone forever.
I cant find it anywhere on my computer. I know that LDS took away support
for PAF recently but that should hav eno bearing on a transfer.

 

  So now I want to do the same with one of my other computers  and transfer
PAF  to  Family Tree Maker, but I am afraid that after the transfer the PAF
will disappear as it did when I transferred to legacy.  The idea is to have
redundant backups but I don't want to gain one and lose one.

 

I back up everything to Carbonite, but PAF is not supported on Carbonite
because of the type of file it is  Carbonite will save it but does not allow
it open. Any ideas or suggestions. I am not a big fan of Legacy by the way.
Over the years I have found that for me, PAF is by far the best method for
storing information.
