Subject: Fw: VCF problem--charts to pdf?
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2004 12:53:44 -0400


Perhaps I missed a followup to this, but is it actually possible to produce
a (vcf-type) chart (e.g. descendant box chart) to pdf? TMG doesn't seem to
provide that option when generating the chart, and VCF doesn't seem to have
an "export to pdf" option.

(And just for the record, TMG still doesn't let me generate any kind of
report in pdf format. I still get the "error exporting to [filename.pdf]"
message. I mention this again only in the hope that there may be someone
else out there with the same problem. So far, I seem to be the only TMG user
with this problem, and it has been consistent through several versions now.
I'm running WinXP home. I've discussed with Tech Support, who has taken a
stab at it, but so far no luck with any kind of solution.)
