Save your Capture as a PDF

Now you can share your captured images in the universally accepted format – PDF. The PDF format is perfect for saving and printing scrolling Web pages. This short tutorial will show you how easy it is to capture a scrolling and save it as a PDF.

Follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the Web page that you want to capture is open in your internet browser on your computer desktop.
2. Without minimizing your internet browser, open SnagIt.
3. Select the Scrolling window to PDF capture profile from Other Capture Profiles.

4. Click Capture.
   
   The SnagIt window disappears, and you see the Web page and a finger pointer cursor with a page icon attached to it.
5. Left-click once in the middle of the window to start the capture.
6. Wait while the window scrolls automatically. (To cancel, right-click or press <ESC>.)

   Note: Clicking the left mouse button a second time stops the capture prematurely and only captures part of the page.

7. When complete, the capture appears in the Capture Preview window.
8. Click Save As in the Output toolbar.
   
   
9. In the Save As dialog box, enter a file name. Notice that Adobe PDF (*.pdf) is already set in the Save as type field.
10. Click OK to close the Save As dialog box.
11. Click Done to close the Capture Preview window.

Note: Selecting Send E-mail in the Output toolbar attaches the capture as a PDF to a new e-mail message.
