Looks like from reading the archives that people use either the Tree Draw or Charting Companion add-ons. To bad if one has to buy a separate add on for this.

I did this about three or four years ago. That was with FTM 4 and Acrobat 4 or 5 vs the Legacy 6 and Acrobat 7 I use today. I printed some 36"x72" and 36"x96" descendent trees on my office HP plotter. They were great. I never use Distiller but rather I print to the Printer called "Acrobat PDF". If Acrobat was installed properly you should have a printer called something like "Acrobat PDF" in your printer list along with your real printer(s). Everything I print from Legacy is to that "Acrobat PDF" printer. I must admit I didn't try it before I sent that post and must now admit that I can't get it to work with my current setup. So, I will experiment over the next few days and let you know what I find ... C.G.

For example I made a profile called Large (36" X 36"). I then selected that profile in distiller and then try to create the pdf in Legacy. I still end up with an 8.5 X 11 page. If I then open it in Acrobat and select my Large profile to print I end up with and 8.5 X 11 chart on a 36" X 36 page. The only time I've seen the ability to resize a PDF is via a plugin I use at work. Jim On 4/27/07, C.G. Ouimet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This is an Acrobat thing. Think of Acrobat as a printer.
