: On the Individual, Ancestors and Descendants pages you have the option to create a report in ‘pdf’ format from the information you are viewing. Several of the documents posted on the histories pages have also been stored in the same way. pdf stands for Portable Document Format which was pioneered by the Adobe corporation as a method of document exchange between systems. The Adobe Reader module (originally called Acrobat Reader) allows viewing, printing and saving the file on your PC for later use. If you do not have a copy of Adobe Reader installed it can be downloaded from the Adobe site. The download is free and quite quick. Just click on the : “Pdf Reader”: symbol when it appears in the row of icons at the top of the page.
