I have a printing prob. I am trying to print out my rellies on the 1901 census. They were saved as pdf and when printed out I have a nice black border, but the text is so small it is unreadable. My printer has been set to landscape, but that is no help

Hi Lynda That's the problem with a PDF - it's a physical representation of the info. you selected. Unless you've got the full version of Adobe Acrobat (not just the free reader) there's not a lot you can do. You can magnify the doc. on screen but not for printing (unless anyone knows better). Have you tried other ways of presenting your information (e.g. separate PDF files with smaller chunks of your tree, which will print out bigger)? J

Can you not save the image as a jpeg and sent to my pictures? You should then be able to edit and print off A4 size. jay
