Family Tree Maker and Big Charts

[Pam Santos]

Well I thought I would share in case there is others out there who are not able to make an ancestry chart that is big in Family Tree Maker. I had downloaded a free trial of Adobe PDF creator. I downloaded it mainly to convert JPG to PDF. Well I was playing around in family tree maker and instead of clicking on SHARE I clicked on PRINT and changed the printer that I would normally print with to Adobe PDF and it created the whole 750 pages!!!  I do not know how much it cost to buy but I am sure there is a free version similar.

Yes, try cute PDF writer (www.cutepdf.com). I've used it for years and have made documents many hundreds of pages. The writer version is free. 

There is not an inherent PDF limitation on size. I've gone over 2,000 pages (although size of the file and memory do become an issue!)

I am no techie but for a family reunion I have printed out a descendant chart from FTM on my HP printer using BANNER paper and settings for the printer which was 322 pages.   For displaying the chart I obtained several empty refrigerator cartons from my local appliance store and set them up accordion style in my garage and taped the chart at eye level to the raw cartons.   The cartons went down one full side of the garage across the front and back to the front on the other side.   It was well received by the family as they fought for space in front of it trying to chase their line from the immigrant to themselves.   It now sits filed accordion style my file

Nice yes that is what I want to do eventually and see if I can print on big banner. I will most likely send it to be done though. I don't think my HP has the option,, I could be wrong though.
