GenoMaps in the report are now SVG only. All modern browsers now have good SVG support and so the original requirement for PDF versions is now redundant. Therefore Inkscape no longer needs to be installed." The generated PDFs were very useful to quickly produce a printed sample of the genealogy, and this could be easily distributed. I will miss this facility very much and will be left with the options keeping a old skin version (version 2014.06.14) for the sole purpose dabble with SVG generated files through Inkscape (import SVG Then export in PDF) use wkhtmltopdf to generate the PDFs. I like none of these solutions but would still prefer the former one. I suppose it would not be a big effort to restore and keep the option to generate PDF Genomaps in the updated versions. I am not convinced I will be the only one missing this facility that seems to have been withdrawn with too much haste. Tags: genomaps skin pdf
