You might need to ask a printer to do it for you. Some places have large printers as I have been able to print to A3 at uni with the option of printing at A1if I pay extra. Try asking around locally.

I doubt if a High Street printer could do it for you as they don't have the necessary programs to form the tree. You could take a look at our website we specialise in family tree printing. www.genealogyprinters(.)com Regards Carol

Have you completed it or are you still adding? Genealogy shops are appearing in towns. I passed one the other day and they had an enomous sheet of paper in the windows. it was obviously drawn by hand but it really looked lovely. The handwriting was olde english style but very clear. Well worth having done if you have a complete tree.

If you are using software or a web site which provides a suitable view of the tree, then install PDF955 (http://www.pdf995(.)com/) which provides another printer selection when you select to print a document or web page. When you choose PDF995 as the printer it will generate a PDF document. Save the generated PDF document to a CD or email it to the high street printers. Most high street printers should be able to simply print the document. In summary, (1) download and install PDF955 http://www.pdf995(.)com/ (2) view your tree in a printable form (either with software or on a web site) (3) select File --> then Print (4) select PDF995 as your chosen printer, then save the generated document to CD or file on your PC (5) take the file (or email) to a high street printer. regards, Andy www.familytreediscovery.net
