I use "Print of current view" to print a pdf file that has the entire current view on a single page. To do this, I had to set up my pdf printer with a very large (virtual) sheet of paper (in the virtual printer options, not in Ancestris).

Unfortunately my family tree has grown a lot, so I had to set up an even bigger virtual sheet. Since I did this, now Ancestris crashes when I click on "Print of current view".
Is there a way to reset everything?

Or anyway, is there a way to create a pdf or jpg of the current view without using the "Print of current view" button?
Thank you very much.

Crash ?
Do you mean that Ancestris exits or just an error ?
If there is an error, could you provide the technical log ?

Ancestris uses your printing property. If you adjust your property in your printing device, Ancestris should be able to send information to printer (eventually a virtual one).

"Crash?" Sorry, it blocks.

It seems that I managed to solve the problem, at least partially.

The problem now is that if I press print sheet vertically, the result is a blank sheet. If I print horizontally, however, I have no problems (but the result comes out on several pages).

Don't hesitate to share your log if you want we could see why it blocks.

You can find it by following our documentation : https://docs.ancestris.org/books/user-guide/page/software-files-and-user-settings-files#bkmrk-the-configuration-fi
