For others who might need it, here is a work around for the large files
produced by Legacy Charting.
Publish from Legacy Charting as a tiff file (instead of a pdf file). Open
that tiff file in your preferred graphic program (I use Paint Shop Pro) and
print it from there as a pdf using any of many free pdf creators that
pretend to be "printers". Resulting pdf file was one tenth the original pdf
file and printed nicely on regular paper.

Maybe Jeff, but Legacy Charting is mainly designed (as I understand it) for
producing wall charts, rather than for reports or web pages.

I realize that Ron. But the 6 generation pdf files produced by Legacy
Pedigree Reports are an order of magnitude smaller than the 6 generation
ancestors pdf files produced by Legacy Charting.

Jeff,
The size of any chart file obviously depends on how many generations and
hence how many people are in it. If you reduce the size it will more than
likely become unreadable.
You can always use Pando or similar to email it.

Legacy Charting creates some beautiful charts. However the size of the
pdf
files it creates are huge. To large to send out as email attachments.
Is there a way to reduce the size of these huge pdf files?
