Sorry if I mislead you,  I know how to manually add it to the reports but I
was hoping that Legacy seeing as how it stores the package would have a way
of printing the package.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with a report, please

[Gene Young]

Actually its quite simple to accomplish what you want.  Create your PDF report 
in Legacy then use a free, open source program called PDFsam Basic (stands for 
PDF split and merge) to append your pdf files to your Legacy report.  I use 
this program often and have never had a problem.  You can download it at 
https://pdfsam.org/downloads/.  Just get the Basic, its all you'll need.

Is this a valid expectation or do I have to cobble the whole thing to get it

Nope, u cannot do that. A PDF file cannot be printed in any reports. 

Copy the text from the PDF file and paste it into Notes or Stories for the 
individual. Both of those print.

[LegacyUG] Help with a report, please

[Ian Macaulay]

I have captured text and PDF documents pertaining to an individual and they
are stored under media/document via the add media bit in the software.

I now want this file in its entirety to be produced when I run a report.

In this case I want to run an individual report as a PDF and have the three
documents, one of which is about 20 pages, as part of the report?

Is this a valid expectation or do I have to cobble the whole thing to get
it done?

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem adjusting size of screen.

On the re-sizing problem:I too have found it to be a problem.
I tried using the touch pad (thinking it might be the mouse as I do have a 
problem with the right click not working sometimes), but that did not help
I needed smaller than full screen as I have (on that monitor) 4 items (Notepad, 
Excell, Word and Legacy)On the 2nd monitor I also have 4 different programs 
going (2 different internet windows, 2 different directories).
To get it close to the size I want I find that once I get the double arrow if I 
move the mouse rapidly and release it will catch up to where I released it.The 
only time I have to do that again, is if I close Legacy and reopen it, I have 
to re-size it.
So basically, click & hold - move rapidly & release.

 It's strange that we all seem to have different methods to get around 
this very irritating  problem.  The only way I can resize Legacy 
windows is to drag the pointer/arrow and release the mouse button 
quickly (before the window gets there).  If I hold the mouse button 
down until Legacy's window catches up it will revert to the original 
position.  However, dragging the mouse pointer to the new position 
and releasing the button prematurely works every time.

I suspect that the good results some have had doing it in small 
increments is due to them unintentionally releasing the mouse button 
sooner.
