Cathy,
Have you checked this "feature" in version 6? I have long used the
technique of attaching PDF and other files, such as worksheets, via a
"sound" file in the picture gallery. I can no longer get that technique to
work in version 6.0.0.66 Deluxe. I have queried Legacy Support but no reply
yet. The PDF files open fine using the default system PDF viewer outside of
Legacy. Ditto with a wks file that will not open via a "sound" file link.

Hi John,
You can attach any type of file to Legacy in the Sound or Video dialogues.
Just change the file type to all types.
These attached files are available to you from within the program but will
not print in a report - just as a Video or Sound file can't be printed.
Legacy uses your default PDF reader (and other default programs for other
document types) to read PDF files when you click on them. See Options >
Customise - Launch tab if you have several programs that will read the same
type of file and don't want to use your computer default.

I am new to Legacy, but just recently got the Deluxe Edition, which I
think is great. I have one question:
Can you attach PDF documents to an individual in the picture section?
The reason I ask is; I generated a GEDCOM file from my Brothers Keeper
program which can attach PDF's., I then imported that GEDCOM into Legacy
(Ver 6.0). The PDF files are visable and I can access and view them, not
from a PDF viewer but from a Legacy internal viewer (I think).
I can not find a place to link or attach the PDF file from the picture
section in Legacy, Am I missing something somewhere. Thanks in advance
