I just did my genogram for a class assignment and was instructed to save it as a pdf file. How do I do this?
By P.Cooper - Sunday, January 24, 2010
For any file I have needed to convert to a pdf, I usually just right click on the file, select Print, then instead of selecting my Printer, I select Adobe PDF.

After that, the Adobe wizard takes over. I'm running Adobe 7 Pro - so I'm not sure if what you are using will do that though.

 

edit - forgot to mention - you will need to Export your Genogram as either a Text or EMF file first for this to work. Adobe can't read the .gno file type.

The above is normal way to create PDF from .gno file, but needs Acrobat Pro, which is commercial package and you need to buy.

For a free option, I use CutePDF writer, which can be downloaded from
http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/Writer.asp,

This program needs you to install free program "GhostScript" which can be downloaded from the link on the CutePDF link above.

To create PDF of your Genogram, open Genogram with GenpPro, then select the Print option, and chose " CutePDF Writer" as printer in the Printers dialog "Name" box,
This will create a PDF file of your Genogram, and will ask you for filename, and where to save the file.

I just downloaded CutePDF and Ghostwriter and installed them both. However, when I open my genogram using GenoPro and click on print from the file menu it doesn't give me the option to use "CutePDF Writer." Is there anything I can do differently to get this to work? Thanks for the help!

You "print" your family tree into a .pdf.  Simply select PDF995 as your printer and PDF995 will prompt you the filename to save your .pdf.

Thanks so much. I was having the same problem not being able to convert it.

You haven't said what result you are looking for.  The number of pages used for each GenoMap depends on the page size you select for your printer/pdf renderer and the scaling you apply to your GenoMap.  Use Printer Setup to set your required CutePDFWriter page size and then use Page Layout to adjust the scaling to fit the page size you have selected.

Otherwise use glue/tape to stick the pages together Hehe

I completed a very basic genogram and need to insert the diagram into an APA formatted Word document for a course assignment. How do I accomplish this task? It does not appear that word will read the .gno

Copy from GenoPro Ctrl/a , Ctrl/c and paste into Word Ctrl/v or export as .emf

It took me a LONG TIME to figure this out, and here it is: 

Go to "File," "Page Layout," and click on "Single Page" on the bottom chart. 

Download Adobe Pro. 

Go to "Print Set up," Select "Adobe PDF" (under "Printer") and choose "A0" 

If it doesn't turn out well, try a different paper size. In my case A0 and "92X92" both worked well.
