GRO historic records on PDF trial
« on: Thursday 10 November 16 21:23 GMT (UK) »
I have read that the GRO are trialing sending digital copies of records direct to your email address via a PDF.  Cost £6.00
Has anyone used this service?  Were you satisfied with the quality of the PDF document?

Hi. There are at least two other threads on this topic on rootschat. Also see the GRO website for details of the timeframes for the arrival of the PDFs , as none of us ordinary folk who have ordered them on day one will get them till at least the 16th. Some others were part of the pre trial I gather so they may be able to comment further on the quality.
