Version

Ancestral Author helps you document your genealogical
research by constructing fully hyperlinked Adobe
Acrobat PDF files from GEDCOM files, text files,
images, and other sources of user input. It is very
simple to use, and creates high quality documents that
can be printed, emailed, published on the internet, or
sent to a service bureau for conversion into a bound
book. In it's simplest form, just drag and drop a
GEDCOM file onto the Ancestral Author desktop icon,
and in a few seconds you have a fully hyperlinked,
indexed PDF document showing the genealogy of the
people in the GEDCOM, presented in a modified register
format. Click on a name, and you are brought
immediately to the page on which that person appears.
The name index is fully hyperlinked too. Click on an
index entry, and jump immediately to that person. You
can use the more sophisticated features of Ancestral
Author to create a comprehensive document of your
genealogical research with the following elements: (1)
title page, with graphic illustrating your family
crest, coat of arms, etc. (2) Chapter and section
headings, supporting text imported from a file. (3)
Any number of descendant reports extracted from a
GEDCOM file. (4) A list of sources. (5) A full
hyperlinked name index. (6) Source annotations - click
on a source annotation next to a person in the
descendant report, and see a list of all sources for
that individual. (7) A PDF outline view showing all
the chapters and sections in your document.
