PDF Book Creation

I am currently looking at Family Historian as a replacement for my current package which is Family Tree Builder which is a free product from http://www.myheritage.com/

One feature it does is create PDF books that creates a life story for all members of the tree, and each event that took place, making all the research very interesting.

I've gone through all the features of Family Historian, but don't see to see this as a feature?

FH does not do books as such, but you could so something similar using the Narrative reports, adding in the people you wanted to report on.

Thanks Jane. Amazingly quick reply!

Ah that's a real shame as I've used it send to relatives over email, and been useful as a way to actually bring lost relatives together.

I see there is a development type process in FH, where queries and things can be made. Is this powerful enough to do something like this in time (granted a long development)?

As MyHertiage is fully GEDCOM based, I guess I could import to create the book.

You can create reports to send to relations, If you have not already downloaded the trial version why not play with that.

You can create PDF files in V3 using an external pdf creator and V4 is expected to have PDF support for reports.

Why I say it does not do books is because FH does not add indexes and Table of Contents which some other products do.
