Can I convert a PDF file into GEDCOM for Legacy 8?

. . . but I'll still want it removed- not my family you see;, feels wrong that it should be here, searchable by all in cyberspace

It won't be searchable if you put it up as an image. Run it through your PDF reader and 'grab' a suitable section of the screen i.e. without living subjects. Just include one individual record or as much of it as you can get on a screen. Should be OK then. You could black out the names in a paint package if you are still worried.

Falkyrn,

I wish to continue the FH research already started and add my findings to the existing tree, but also to produce different charts from the information. I do think I'd need it in GEDCOM format; not sure if the PDF is in a form that could be converted to excel but I'll have a go.

Thanks for the reply

I think in that case the easiest option is to manually input the information ... in any case conversion  opens up the possibility of introducing errors to the file
