Export whole family tree in PDF #133

What? Exporting the whole tree in a PDF format or similar. Since right now its pretty limited in terms of what visual diagram boxes I can see

Why? Giving out a full PDF to my family members instead of giving them the whole file including media so they can browse themselves is annoying and doesn't show full picture.

How ? If you list many family members like uncles and nephews , it quickly can become impossible to display them all in a reasonable manner in 2d. What you can expect, though, is that if you change the display options to show only ancestors and few descendents, that the all of those could be displayed - even though they would probably not fit on a letter sized paper to print it out, but they found find on a large PDF. Keep in mind that if your tree is complete up to ten ancestor generations, than that too generation alone has 1,024 people in it!

You could the ln hand out different PDFs to different family members.

The advantage of handing out the file is, that you can include much more information and, for example, a photo album for each person
