I think you will find it is because the pdf is not a picture and therefore
will not show up in the Picture Centre - that is only for actual pictures.

I had that same problem on another computer, and somebody on the list

reader I used think it was firefox??) that did the trick. Adobe worked
fine on one computer, not on the other. It's got to be something in the

Susan,
This is my approach to people whose names are not known.
In the absence of a name Legacy sometimes adds a non-person called
“Unknownâ€. To distinguish from this, my choice is usually to put “not
known“ in the given name field. You can find these not known people
from a Given Name sort of
Best to leave all unknown fields blank. For dates, a good guess based on
birth years of parents or children or spouse or marriage date will help
when doing merges.
Unknown wastes ink when printing and looks terrible to me.

If all I know is the person's first name, that is all I enter. I don't
put 'unknown' or any variant of that in the surname field.
If I later find out more, I create an AKA with appropriate sources, and
then swap it for the current name.
Hope this helps. :-)
Kind Regards,
Wendy
