You are right. There are several free PDF creation programs that are set up like printer drivers. I still don't get linking PDF's to Legacy if they cannot be printed in Legacy reports. Is this just a way to find your source document? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAI

It is correct to say that there are many printer drivers which can save in the pdf format indeed, with Open Office one can export direct to pdf. That is not the problem; the pdf format belongs to Adobe and it is in the *reading* of pdf files where they excercise their propriety rights. As for

I use TIF format almost exclusively for the images I attach in Legacy (census, scans of documents, photographs, etc.). Most of these files are way over 200KB - in fact they are all in the 3-5 MB range. I have never had a problem with Legacy handling, saving, or displaying these images. The

Yes, it's just like linking in images of census records, death certificates, etc so they're more quickly available to look at. I rarely need to and they're also linked back to my 'source library' through the File ID's, so it could be considered overkill. Still I like to see the pictures of th
