If you are running vista or windows 7 there is a tool called "Snipping Tool" which is located in Programs\Accessories where you can mark the area of the picture displayed on the pdf and then copy / save it as a jpg. I would still keep the pdf on the computer but you can then place the jpg into Legacy so that it can be viewed.

PDF is not a "picture" format so it cannot be handled by Legacy in the same way that it handles picture formats such as JPG or TIF (there are others.) Legacy has the capability built into it to read and display pictures and even, to a limited degree, edit them. It does not have the capability to read and display DOCs or PDFs or all the other proprietary formats which different programs create. You need to attach non-pictures as files so that Legacy can take the appropriate action - open the right program for that type of file - when you want to look at it. -- 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
