No Kim, it doesn’t. I attach all PDF documents to each individual person for whom the documents apply. This way, they show up all in a row when I click on the photo icon, making it easy for me to see what I have collected. Go to one of your entries that has a person photo attached. Pretend you are going to attach another photo for this person but Click on FILE instead, then browse to a pdf file somewhere on your hard drive and click on it to SELECT it. (it won’t matter what the pdf file is as you will remove the attachment as soon as your experiment is over)
Now choose OPEN, and when the next screen opens, you can add a caption, etc. if wanted. I usually put in Death Certificate, Marriage Certificate or something that will quickly indicate to me what the file contains. Now click on OK. You will see the little file icon in a slot in the Picture Gallery. Now click on “Print Photo Album” and then click on Preview. On screen, you will see that the only thing that prints in the photo album are the photos. Now simply highlight the file icon of the PDF file you just attached and click on Remove. All is back to where you began. For me, to see the documents quickly and easily and to be able to attach a copy of the PDF document to email and send to another researcher, right from Legacy, is a big plus and time saver for me.

This will avoid attached documents being displayed on your family view as a photo. I've used this utility for several years and convert all of my genealogy certificate images to PDF files before attaching. After this, one click in Legacy and the PDF file will open into Adobe Reader, where you can easily study the document. About the only images I regularly attach in Legacy that are graphic files are people photos and tombstone photos. One image this works beautifully with are the Texas Death Certificates, offered online as a graphic file. I just convert them to PDF files and attach. So easy to go back and review them, or email a copy to another researcher. In Adobe Reader, you can increase the size on screen, to bring up close, details on the certificate. To convert, just open your image in the viewer, do a 'save as' and select PDF. Your original image is untouched, leaving you with the graphic image of the document plus the same document in PDF format. http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm ~Mary -----Original Message----- From: Joan Kemp [mailto:jk...@yahoo.com] Is there any way to prevent pictures showing in miniature on the main Legacy tree?
