Hi i dont know if this has something to do with it or not
"Beginning July 15, 2013, PAF will be retired and will no longer be available for download or support. For full details and for information on alternative products, please visit http://familysearch.org/PAF."

Maybe the others you send it to need the paf programme to open it.   Although it's not supported now it is still useable.   

edit:  Looks like it's not available.

You could print out the part of the tree that someone else wants, then scan it, and send them the scan.

It sounds, as others have said, that your recipients were trying to open the raw PAF file without having the PAF program installed. As PAF is no longer available to download you may need to save your file as a gedcom file and send the new file although the recipients will still need to download and install one of the free gedcom compatible programs

PS if you still have the installation program for PAF you could also send that with instructions about installing the program

It looks like you have sent the data to a file pedigree.rtf instead of to a printer.

Now all you need to do is attach the file pedigree.rtf to an email so your recipient can see your pedigree chart.
