Alan, I just this weekend said "I wonder if I can get this to be all on one page for viewing as a pdf?" I have PDFCreator (also free... installs like it's another printer available to all your apps) and set the page to 17" x 44" because my chart was 2 pages wide and 4 pages long (landscape). It worked like a champ! When viewing it, I did have to rotate it 90 degrees, but I think if I played with the settings I could get it to come out correctly.
Becky, I use Legacy Charting. I generated a 9 generation ancestor chart... the over-lapping one. Then I used the little icons on the left to move branches up and over, to get the whole thing onto the minimum number of pages. THEN I did the above PDF generation, so the whole thing could be viewing on one "page". That doesn't really help you with actually PRINTING a chart, but maybe it is sufficient to send to your uncle...? --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ________________________________ From: Alan Pereira <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, September 11, 2011 3:41:51 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Chart Printing I use a printer called "Do Pdf v 7" which is a Freedownload from the Internet. If you set your charts to print to that printer you can set a page side of 200+ inches square or tailor it to suit your chart. This creates a single pdf file which you can send to your relatives for viewing on their computers. This will not work for printing unless you use the default A4 size, which makes it hard to read. Maybe a combination of both so you can view the file as a complete tree on the computer and then treat the printed pages as a jigsaw puzzle with the original file as a guide.

What format do you recommend as easiest to read and assemble after printing? Thank you!
