Exporting a descendant tree on FTM 2006 - problem

[Margaret in Burton]

I am trying to export a descendant tree to send to a relative who won't have a tree program on their computer.

The only option my 2006 FTM gives me is to acrobat pdf.

This won't work and keeps closing the program down. This is a screenshot of what I get.

I usually export it as a Gedcom.

Go to File/Export File/CopyExport individuals in descendant tree.

Don't use the pdf one so can't help.

It isnt giving me that option. All I get is to export to pdf. Everything else is greyed out.

Don't want to do gedcom as it has photos in, plus person I want to sent it to wouldn't be able to open it.

Its in Export File not Export Descendants Tree.

[Margaret in Burton]

Its in Export File not Export Descendants Tree.

I know, that works if I want to send all or part of my tree.

It is all greyed out on the tree I want to send, export file and export descendants tree except for pdf.

I have created a tree, just with a few names on. 5 generations and not many on them. I am trying to export that tree so that the person I want to send it to can read it.

Think I am going to give up

Margaret - are you on Vista?

This may sound odd but bear with me!!
Go to Control Panel and select Printers - have you got one there that says Family Tree Maker printer?

[Margaret in Burton]

You know Elaine I think I have had a problem like this before on XP.

Yes, I am on Vista.

I don't have the FTM printer in control panel.

All I have is my epson printer

Microsoft XPS Document writer and Send to Onenote 2007

I have no idea what the second two are.

Right - I think it is because you haven't got a Family Tree Printer driver listed that you are having this problem.

Go to the following page and follow the instructions in point no. 1 under the heading "If the Family Tree Maker Printer is not installed"

Margaret - in case you haven't found the file you need it appears to be under
C:/Program Files / Family Tree Maker 2006 /

Mmmmmm looked at that. I tried to install the Amyuni Document Converter and got a message that it wasn't compatible with the type of Windows I was using.

I'm wondering if I installed the patch for FTM and Vista properly.

Can you give me a link to it Elaine?
