Virtual Family Historian PDF printer accidentally deleted

Post by Greenbag » 13 Apr 2021 23:46

I'm running FH version 5.0.11 on a Windows 10 Home PC. I accidentally deleted the virtual FH pdf printer, so I can't make pdfs any more. There were posts about this around 10 years ago which seem to suggest I have to upgrade my FH version to get the "printer" back. Is that so?
Thanks

I can't answer your specific question (hopefully some of the truly knowledgeable people here will reply soon) but Windows 10 comes with its own "Print to PDF" driver. Have you tried that to see if it works? You should be able to select it just as you would any physical printer.

See Save As PDF File Output is Not Enabled for how to reinstall.

I had a similar problem a few months ago on upgrading from Win 7 to 10 with my FH4 setup, I contacted Calico Pie, and they very quickly E-mailed a link to resolve the problem.
Impressed with the service !
