AlanP,
Doesn't FTM have an option to print to Acrobat PDF? This would be a much
better option than capturing a screen shot. Or are you wanting to edit the
file?
I use RootsMagic, and it has the option to print charts to .pdf.
If FTM doesn't offer print to PDF as an option, you can use a PDF writer,
like Cute PDF. It installs as a printer, and when you print to it, it
creates a .pdf file.
