RE: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

I am not sure what is meant by "real image."  This is a death certificate that I scanned using my Neat scanner.  I have previously attached PDFs as Media files without a problem.  I will rescan or simply try to rename the file as a jpg -- I assume I can do this easily (not at my home computer

RE: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

I use jpeg types for any photo, certificate, and etc. This way I can use them in any program that will accept a image. Most pdf type of files can not be inserted within another type of file. They also can be enhanced and cropped where pdf can not. One may want to do a google to find out what a

RE: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

I somewhat support this question about using PDFs when the real image might be better/easier especially in this instance when I’m assuming that the PDF is nothing other than a JPEG image or two. Yes, it is entirely possible for PDFs to be added to Legacy but are they supported in all reports

RE: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

I'm with you on this one Brian but it's a personal choice. I like the idea of the jpeg being 'visible' as well - just easier to view. Bob From: Brian L. Lightfoot [mailto:br...@the-lightfoots.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2015 9:42 AM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE:

Re: [LegacyUG] viewing multiple files

Hi Barton, You don't have to maximise the windows unless for some reason you want to work in one file for some time. You have both files open side by side. Bob says you can use CTRL + F6 to move the highlight from one file to the other. And you can have further views open if you have the

This latest download seems to have wiped out the book marks I had set on the bottom of Family view.When I went to reset them , things went wonky.  Can someone please tell me using the most current load of legacy if the book marks can be added and changed as they are supposed to be? Scenerio:  I

I had unsubscribed when going on vacation and when I got back, re-subscribed, but because of the ongoing problems with posts going to new subscribers, did not get the other messages (that you refer to, Cathy) responding to my post. I only started getting messages again after contacting

Re: [LegacyUG] viewing multiple files

Thanks, Cathy.  The Ctrl + F6 did not work on my computer.  I like to view the files at full screen, but also appreciate that for some purposes it's useful to view side by side. Barton On Tue, Sep 01, 2015 at 10:41 PM, Cathy Pinner wrote: Hi Barton, You don't have to maximise the windows

RE: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

I’m assuming that you’ve read the other replies about the use of JPEGS vs. PDFs. A “real image” is loosely described as a photographic image or a digital representation of the image. Your PDF document (notice the keyword “document”) may contain text, images, or other digital objects. A PDF

RE: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

Whoever put the personal war diary into a PDF format probably did it solely for the cross-platform compatibility - either that or to forever keep anybody from editing it. One of the major strengths of using a PDF is to combine multiple documents, spreadsheets, and other stuff all into one

RE: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

Brian, thanks for your very detailed and informative message. Yes, my Neat scanner has the 2 buttons “PDF” and “Scan” on the front. I had forgotten this, and seem to recall from a prior conversation with Neat that I am somehow able to scan jpegs using them. However, I’m not having luck doing

Re: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

FWIW: I use document in the add media segment of the media gallery and store all kinds of large documents there, (like a war diary, or historical record or even an family story ) the link can be the identifier of the document.  A jpg of the cover of a doc can also be placed in the picture area

And, actually, you can have 6(?) files/views open at once. 'course you need a big screen to make all 6 big enough to be able to be practical. Once you have set up the split screen(s) - if you maximize one of them into Legacy's main window, you can get back to the split screen by clicking the

Re: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

I have my Dad's personal war diary attached as a PDF. It is a multiple page document. Because it is multi-pages it would not work as an image (JPG). Unless I attached a separate JPG for each page . . . Of course the diary PDF doc doesn't print in the reports, but at least it is there for my

Hi Barton, You may find that you have a Fn lock so that the Function keys have their alternative functions rather than the plain functions. I had to turn that off to get the Ctrl + F6 to work. Cathy BARTON LEWIS wrote: > > Thanks, Cathy. The Ctrl + F6 did not work on my computer. I like to >

Why are you using PDF type of files, when they need to be of a real image type? Thanks, David C Abernathy Email disclaimers This message represents the official view of the voices in my head.
