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

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.
