Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Gallery PDF
I meant the path to a PDF file, not to the Reader executable. When I type C:\Users\Ward\Documents\Genealogy\Legacy Reports\some_file_name.pdf into the IE address field, IE opens the pdf with Reader embedded in a new IE window. My point was that if you can: (1) Cause Adobe Reader to open the PDF by double-clicking on the PDF's filename in Windows Explorer; and (2) Cause IE to embed Adobe Reader within an IE window and display the PDF by entering the filename and path as the browser's URL; then Legacy should also be able to invoke Reader when you give Legacy the PDF's filename and valid path. If (2) does not work, then perhaps there is still a security/rights setting somewhere that is blocking all programs from opening Reader for that PDF. A long shot, but another clue.

I typed C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0/ReaderAcroRd32 into FireFox and IE browsers and File not found. Adobe pdf files open in my PaperPort application, no problems, but not if I've attached a PaperPort pdf file to Legacy via the File button in Picture Gallery and try to open it from the Legacy Icon. With Adobe I'm in uncharted waters for me so I don't even know the right questions to ask! Thanks, Ward Tom Ward Walker wrote: The 'full version' is not free, so you would know if you had purchased it. It is called Adobe Acrobat (not Acrobat.com). It has the capability to change and manipulate PDF files, not just read them. When reading PDFs, Acrobat is not constrained to limited user rights that might have been defined for the PDF for Reader. Your installation looks clean. There could be something bad in your Reader settings, but I don't see why a PDF would open outside Legacy and not open within Legacy. Does the PDF open within other applications? Try typing the path into your browser's address bar. Producing a PDF report from within Legacy is different. They are using a non-Adobe library to do that. (Last I checked, it was producing an outdated version of the PDF format.)

Tom, When you right-click on a PDF file, you get a menu with some options on it. One of them is 'Open With'. When I mouse over 'Open With' I get the choice of Adobe Reader, Legacy Family Tree and Internet Explorer. There is also 'Choose Program'. What do you see when you right click on a PDF?

Re: [LegacyUG] Divorces
I did. In the Descendant report/chart is still shows the marriage date with nothing regarding their divorce.

Unfortunately, the Descendant Chart does not allow you to check mark the marriage status.

Tom, When you select 'Choose Program' the programs list opens. You should have uncheck the box for 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.' By doing that you would not have removed Adobe Reader as the default program and would have Legacy as an alternative program. You can reset Adobe to be the default program by going back into the program list.

[LegacyUG] Descendants narrative report query
Hi I have created a descendants narrative report for my relative. I checked the detail and find on the following pages I have duplicated information which I believe is not correct. I have a chap who married two sisters, the 2nd after the first sister died. I have events entered for this chap, but am finding on my report and it is only with him, that the events for :Noted events in his life: are printing out twice. Once for his entry for his 1st wife and then again for the entry with his 2nd wife (her sister). I have other relatives who have been married twice and this does seem to happen with them. Have I pushed some magic button and made it appear twice by mistake. I do hope someone can help with this as I have checked my settings and cannot find an answer. In the options for the report under include I have ticked Events for husband and wife Events for marriage Notes all of these options are ticked I have tried unchecking events for husband and wife and events for marriage alternatively and this does not fix the problem Thanks for any kind help with this.
