Printing Diagram as .pdf file messed up!
Posted: 13 Apr 2020 11:24
I installed Ashampoo PDF Pro on my computer, mainly to get its page numbering facility which generally works quite well for me. However, since the installation I have been trying to save diagrams as pdf files in FH and failed miserably! Thinking perhaps the new PDF software was the problem, I uninstalled it but the problem still persists and I suspect some default settings in the FH package have been modified by it and are now retained.
I have narrowed it down and can replicate it.
When I get to the "Family historian PDF - Save File As" box, as well as showing a reference to "Ashampoo" logo Family Historian Profile (private profile)" and "Use folder from LOCAL computer" at the top it enters and highlights under "File Name" a previously used file. If I browse to another (existing) file name or try to modify the displayed name and press OK, the FH program hangs and I have to crash out! If I just accept the box with OK it generates the required pdf file but with the pre-entered file name and overwrites it.
How do I get back to my original FH settings for the PDF print routine and get rid of the "interloper" settings?

PS I tried to attach a screen shot but failed at that as well! Not having a good day!
