I am making a commemorative slideshow for a family reunion. I wish there were a way I could add some pdf text files (family tree, dates, history, etc) to the show. I have not been very successful in getting crisp text by converting pdf files to jpgs. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks everybody. My remember-er isn't what it used to be but my forget-er works quite well.

I am still using version 6.5. There used to be a way to create a folder which would store all of your jpegs, music, & PTE file. I think it was called "create template". Am I overlooking this option or has it gone away? Thanks, anybody.

Thank you Linn. I have used PTE for several years - to make very simple slideshows of family events. Early on you responded to my request for help on animations. Unfortunately, my "remember-er" isn't what it used to be so I tend to stick to the very very simple slideshows. I have bookmarked this website. Thank you very much. Shirley

I have been away from P2E for some time now. With 6.5 is it possible to put videos in shows? If so, what file types? Thanks

Thanks everybody. I got it and it's working. I love PTE.

I have used PTE for several years and bought the Video Builder Version in 2008. In Jan 2010 my computer died so I purchased 6.0 and put it on my husband's computer. Since it was past the two year limit on Video Builder, I paid $34. I now have a new computer and downloaded the current version 6.5. Obviously my key does not work. I sent an email to [email protected] but have had no reply. What are my options to get PTE up and running on my computer again? Thanks for any help. Shirley Hogan

Was it this one? http://www.lin-evans.net/tutorial/pzr.avi Shirley Hogan

Thanks for your help, Lin. Shirley

I know I'm asking a "wrong" question too but since you guys are talking about xp - here goes anyway. My computer is Windows XP with SP1. I resisted putting SP2 on when it came out because I was hearing about so many problems with it. I am now seeing some software (don't remember what at the moment) that requires SP2 so I am toying with the idea of upgrading now. Anybody have any suggestions or comments? (I am not exactly what you would call computer-savy.) Thanks Shirley

Thanks Ken, Tom, and Lin for your responses. Lin, I was able to easily follow your instructions and the tutorial video was icing on the cake. Thank you so much! Shirley Hogan

Thanks guys. I'm afraid I'm too much of a beginner to understand this right now. But I do enjoy making slideshows with music in a very simple way. Thanks for your help. Shirley

I know how to do Pans and Zooms in Microsoft Photostory 3 but I can't figure our how to do them in Pictures2exe. I know that I should click on my slide at the bottom to bring it on the top right of screen and then click the Objects and Animations button. I know I should do "something" on the Animations Tab. Can someone either direct me to a simple sample or give me instructions? Thanks for any help. Shirley

I loved the slideshow and the music. Beautiful tribute to Shebang!

YEA! I finally created a DVD that you can play on a DVD Player. Thanks, Al & John, for your help. After I installed PicturesToExe, finally got the correct "key", and copied my pte file and pictures to the newer computer, it was a piece of cake. Unfortunately my computer expertise is pretty much limited to trial and error . When I do get something to work, I usually don't know how I did it. I picked up a lot of helpful info from this forum and I am grateful that there are people like you guys who are willing to help people like me. Thanks again. Shirley

Thanks - I'll let you know how I do (and what else I need help with.) Shirley

I had Pictures V4.4(something) on my computer. My computer is old - Windows XP Service Pack 1 and has a CD (Not DVD) Burner. I upgraded to 5.02 Deluxe PTEs o I could get the Video builder which I thought would allow me to burn a DVD which would play on a DVD Player without any additional software (without creating avi or iso files). I have been unable to get the Video Builder to work on my computer. I have read everything I could find on the forums and tried the Support email system. I can't figure out if I have a hardware issue, software issue, or (more likely) User Ignorance. I have a newer computer on which I would like to install PicturesToExe Version 5 with Video Builder. Can I do that without paying again? How? Thanks for any help. Shirley
