Since Publish creates one PDF page for the entire chart, I assume that you are happy with a 1-page chart. Adobe Reader does not seem to have any way to break a large page into printer-sized pages. I learned from this list about PDF995, which is a PDF virtual printer product, and which creates a PDF page for each original chart page. I tested a background image (greenleaves.jpg, 20% transparency, tiled) and found that it almost works for my 8-page chart. The background is mostly present, but there are 3 of the 8 pages with partially blank areas in the background image, each about a third of a page in size. I don't know if this is a bug in Legacy Charting or in PDF995. The 1 (very wide) PDF page created by Publish has a complete background image.

However virtual print to PDF, which I have always up to now with other apps does not. It prints only the boxes no background. I will just use Publish.

I couldn't replicate your problem, either by using Print and selecting a virtual printer which writes to PDF or by using Publish and selecting PDF. Please can you tell us exactly what you did from start to finish? That way we can replicate your steps exactly and see what result we get. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
