| Hi, I am new to this and have a question. Once I have entered my whole family tree I want to copy it on to one big sheet that people would be able to read, I don't want single sheets I have to tape together. Im thinking of taking it to a print shop and having them print it for me. But none of the print shops can open the file. Does anyone have any ideas on how to convert this to a different type of file? Or any other ideas of how to get it printed? But if I have to convert it will it still be in the tree format and will it be big enough to be seen, I don't want a report format. I hope someone out there can help. Thanks

Beta 18, as per Genopro "What's next" section statement should have an improved printing routine:Beta18: Complete the dialogs Address, Contact, Occupancy
- Improve the print dialog to use a scale factor rather than the number of horizontal and vertical pages. Each GenoMap will be capable to store its own print settings.I suppose you'll get an accurate answer to your question when Genopro is back from their short break in a couple of days time.

| This has been discussed before (use the Search) One option is to use a 'print to pdf' printer. I have used CutePdf but there are several more. Install the driver and then get GenoPro to print using this extra printer. You can define extra large paper sizes and then print to a file. Any print shop will be able to print from a pdf file - if they can not try another one

| I just downloaded cutePDF writer from http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp and tried it out... Everything worked out just fine... Have you checked: Installation Requirements | - Supports Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP (x64)/2003 (x64).
- Requires PS2PDF converter such as Ghostscript (recommended).
You can get the free GPL Ghostscript 8.15 here.
and: No longer include Ghostscript. You may download and install it separately. |
Maybe you don't have Ghostscript instaled?

If you can not get CutePdf to work there are several others out there. I have also used NovaPDF from http://www.novapdf.com/ and using Google I have also found http://www.primopdf.com/. Both are free for you to use.
After you have installed them, do not forget to go to the set up and choose a large paper size and adjust your display to fill it. Goes without saying to check print shop has that size paper.

| Almost there, but do not choose print to file. That is what gives you a .prn file. Just say Print; it will think for a bit and then ask for a file name. This will be your .pdf file. Just remember which directory you put it in and take the pdf file to a print house
