Can I convert a PDF file into GEDCOM for Legacy 8?

Hi

Is it possible for you to copy a page from the pdf into this thread so that we can see what you have?

Sorry for the delayed response.

The information on the tree is not mine; if the moderators could confirm that they will delete it when it's no longer useful to the thread, I will upload.

Do the mods read all replies, or should I contact them directly?

If you click on "Report to moderator" they are bound to see it!

And the same thing when you want it removed?!

Ah, ok thanks.

Hi

I should have said not to include any data for living persons.
It is only to get a view of the "style/format".

The moderating team have received 'your report'

Please ensure the portion of pdf you post to the page doesn't contain living people and when you are ready, use the report to moderator button again and let us know you want the attachment removed.

Could you clarify what you actually want to do with this file ?

If it is simply to make the file editable to add your own information the easiest way would be to convert the PDF file to Word format and work within an Office program to make edits. There are several utilities which will do this.

Unfortunately if you wish to convert the pdf file to a format that would allow you to import it to an FH program I don't think such a utility exists (one work around is to convert the pdf file to Excel format and convert the excel file to gedcom - but that relies upon the original PDF file being in a format that was suitable for conversion to a spreadsheet)

Will do, cheers.

Thanks Ray, but I'll still want it removed- not my family you se;, feels wrong that it should be here, searchable by all in cyberspace

I'll add it later

Falkyrn,

I wish to continue the FH research already started and add my findings to the existing tree, but also to produce different charts from the information. I do think I'd need it in GEDCOM format; not sure if the PDF is in a form that could be converted to excel but I'll have a go.

Thanks for the reply
