Re: screen capture/pdf problem

another nice tool for capturing screens or portions 
thereof on Windows is SnagIt from TechSmith.  we are
very happy with its simplicity and clean output.

I've had really good luck with a program called HiJaak Pro. While best known as
a conversion program, it has a great screen capture feature that even lets you
set a delay to allow you to pull-down menus to capture and captures the cursor,
if you wish. Once upon a time, I downloaded it from Download Safari, but I don't
have the bookmark here on my laptop.

I am capturing screens for a manual that will be viewed online in pdf
format. The screen content and user input content must be presentable
(readable) in the pdf file. I've tried saving as jpeg and tiff. Both
produce pretty poor text in pdf, although they print ok. Any recommendations

on how to get crisp, clean images in the pdf file? I'm using windows
2000, frame 6, paint shop pro 6.02, illustrator 8.0.

Thanks in advance.

Nick
