Why not just take a proper screenshot then, with the PrintScreen key?


Then you're limited to a screen's very low resolution which would only be suitable for limited on-screen viewing.

How do you know what resolution his monitor screen is?

It'd still be better than taking a picture of said monitor (regardless what its resolution is) with a camera, IMO.

You have to paste it into paint or some other editing program.


I always assumed the Print Screen button meant just what it says. If I have to get an editing program and paste it into that, what's the point of the button? I can just as well highlight, copy and paste into Word and print that. Or take a photo as mentioned which I've done on dealer parts websites that don't let you print out a webpage like it appears on the screen.

Not to my knowledge.
I got mixed up between printing "to PDF" with converting to JPEG. Windows 10 does support 'print to PDF' natively and before that, I've always installed a 3rd-party PDF print driver.

Think of it as a 'copy' button. You make a copy of the entire screen exactly as it appears on the screen, and then you paste it into either any image editing program or into a Word document, or anywhere. The quality will be much better than what you're going to get by taking a photo of your monitor.

I know his monitor resolution is WAY lower than any acceptable print standard; and way lower than would be useful should someone have to zoom in or magnify the content. A PDF file, however, contains a lot of resolution-independent elements (vector graphics, text) that can be exported at any resolution a user specifies. In the case of text that may need to be zoomed-in upon, that is golden.
And certainly, a screen shot would be far, far superior to taking a photo of the screen!!!

That is all I was saying.

This site is certainly interesting when it comes to vehicle-related topics but some "advice" related to using computers is humorous !

Then just use the snipping tool

If you are looking to convert a PDF file to JPG, I will recommend you the website that I am personally using, https://jpg2pdfconverter.com/pdf-jpg.It's a free website, so I don't think you will have any problems with it. However, if you need to edit your file or add something extra to it, you won't be able to do that on this website. But still, there are more similar websites on the internet, so I am sure you will be able to find one that will suit you. Anyway, I hope that my message will be helpful for you.

All you do is screenshot or snip then save it. Very simple

Then you're left with a very low-res image.

It’s still very readable

Absolutely; but not suitable for print or enlargement: You'd be limited to the pixel dimensions of the image's display on screen, at ~96dpi or slightly denser, dependent on the monitor. A screenshot would probably be best, then, if you were going to email or text the image electronically for electronic device viewing.

I like old topics keep coming back to life. Even when it hasn't been long enough to change the answers/methods already given to solve the problem.

right but if your purpose is to post it on bitog. a screenshot is ideal and easy.
because presumably the screenshot will be of a legible correctly zoomed readable whatever you are posting.

Not saying to use the snipping tool then blow it up for an 8x10 at walgreens.. (lol)

First take a screen shot and then convert it.

This will limit the ensuing JPEG file to screen resolution, which is very low.
