I have been using the trial of FH 6 and have transferred my data from FTM 2014. In FTM 2014 Media I had numerous PDF files ( multi page) original wills, etc, that I kept in Media and linked to the individual. In FH6 it says it does not recognize PDF in media. Is there a way of linking these files in FH or an alternative method of linking multi page documents.

Welcome to the FHUG.
Where exactly in FH V6 does it say it does not recognize PDF in media?
PDF and any other file type can be linked as Media, but do not appear in Reports and Diagrams.
See how_to:v4:adding_multimedia|> Adding Photographs and Other Multimedia under Adding Other Media.
Also as a newcomer please checkout how_to:key_features_for_newcomers|> Key Features for Newcomers.
Later on you should also checkout how_to:import_from_family_tree_maker|> Import from Family Tree Maker (FTM).
