Does FH (6 or 7) output PDF, or PDF/A?

Post by tparkhill » 08 Dec 2020 17:58

I have been trying to keep my father's ~9000 person database active. I am hoping to clean it up (after moves from several earlier programs, Roots through TMG) and output to a PDF version that could "last" for many years.
I understand PDF/A was created as a "safe" version for archiving purposes (embeds fonts, etc.)
Does FH export PDF?A?
If not, how do I make this suggestion?

thanks
Trent

FH7 gives the option to export PDF/A or PDF. Can't tell you about FH6 as it's no longer installed on my PC.

FH V6 also offers an option for PDF/A-1b (RGB) version 1.4 with fonts embedded.

It is part of the Save Report As > PDF File and Save Diagram As > PDF File options.
