ok thanks Mike

I think I've found a solution to this problem. On page 103 of the Parallels Desktop 10 user guide it states the following: "To create a PDF file, select Parallels PDF to Mac Desktop when choosing a printer. A PDF file is saved on the Mac desktop." So from the report tab in FHv6 chose Print... and se...

Thanks for that clarification. I backed up the project from Mac/Parallels to my server. Restored it to my PC and the PDF report displays first page fine. The thing that puzzles me is that when I create a new project it works fine so far. even if I restore a project it fails on the pdf first page. St...

Hi

When creating new projects the pdf displays first page fine!
saved closed and reopened at the new project is fine.

all the previous project pdf reports have blank first page.

thanks for your help
Mark

had to reinstall FHv6 as I had uninstalled nova pdf. however, on reinstall the sample project has the same problem now. yes the problem arises from every individual. I notice that I don't have the same issue on windows pc (i.e. not via the parallels) really strange I might try creating a new project?

The sample project works fine.
tried resetting all too installation settings, no luck
restarted print spooler.

deleted FH Nova print, should I uninstall FH before reinstalling trial?

thanks
Mark

Hi all, Good to be back! Running FH v6 in Parallels Desktop Windows 10, on a Macbook Pro My problem: Publishing any report - I can see all pages on the panel in FHv6 but when I save the report as PDF the first page of the report is always missing apart from the headers and footers. Even if I print a...

Wonderful!
Thanks Tatewise.

Hi all,
I have had a request from a family member asking if I can supply a list of recent additions or changes to records etc.
Is there a way that I can list all additions or chages to records from a given date so that I can pass on this info please?

Thanks Gerry.[smile]

Sorry if this has been asked or covered elsewhere, but I can't locate it.

Is there a fact field already built in which I can use to add a person's Hewbrew Name please?

This is wonderful Jane, thank you, it works a treat. I can't read Hebrew either but the translator shows the English original if you roll the mouse over it.

I think I can publish this as an alternative and will get feedback from our Hebrew speaking relations.

Thanks again
Mark

Thanks Jane,
I will give the html report translation a try.

Does anyone know if there is any kind of Hebrew language support for Family Historian please? I'm thinking of reports in the first instance. I have a number of relations whose first language is Hebrew. I know FH supports Hebrew dates etc but really looking for full translation and layout changes to ...

Thanks Jane,
I've Created a separate source record for each surname, then I have created a custom report with the details in.

I'm starting to collect information about origins of Surnames in my tree from one source: 'Dictionary of Jewish Surnames in the Russian Empire'. The text for each citation is different for each surname. I would like to put this information in the most appropriate place and then be able to produce a ...

Hi Ralf, I noticed you mentioned PDFs. As far as I thought FH doesn't create PDFs does it? I always keep all my back ups out of habit, but I don't suppose I'll need to restore any of the earlier ones. I have about 130 and they take up about 58 MB, so this day and age that's not that much I suppose. ...

jfsmith said: Try this - Right click Family Historian Icon, then click Properties - Shortcut - Advanced. Tick the box 'run as administrator' This allows the program to ALWAYS run in administrator mode. Hope this helps JFSmith I had to do this when installing on Vista home premium - worked a treat.

Thanks Jan and all.
Very much a common sense thing and as You say, let the data speak to you.

18,000! wow!
Food for thought Richard thanks.

Many thanks, as I'm getting to a point where the number of people is growing substantially. thank you for the advice.

I just wondered what others are doing when it comes to family tree gecom files. Do you create a separate gedcom file for each family name? I'm wondering what people advise in terms of good practice and from experience please?

I have received a descendent report from a family member, which lists the immediate line of ancestors in brackets after the individual name, like the following example: “67. SUZANNE6 OSTROFF (HAROLD BERNARD5, ISAAC4, TZVI/HERSCH/BAINISH (BENJAMIN)3, ISAAC2, UNKNOWN1)” I notice that this facility is ...

Thanks for your suggestions. I decided to use wordpad and replaced all as recommended. Worked a treat, although it took a while as I couldn't do all in one!
Thanks again

I have upgraded to Windows Vista. When looking at any diagram that includes multimedia images previously linked to records all image links are broken. This is due to the path change that Microsoft has enforced with Vista. An example is that there no longer exists C:documents and settings etc. this h...
