I used Vidya Screen Capture software (cost: $10.00). This allowed me to take captures on the PFA.
Then I had Microsoft ActiveSync on my system. This maintained a synced folder on my desktop so any capture I took I saved to the synced folder and then after the automatic sync, the captures were on my desktop. It took high quality captures and made life very easy.

I have been struggling with this for a few years and think I have found the best formula, but it still doesn't print the way I would like. I use Microsoft Remote Display on my PC to run the device from my PC and then take screen shots with Paint Shop Pro. There is some kind of distortion every time. The actual size of the graphic is usually a full square inch larger than the actual screen. If you try to re-size in Paint Shop or PhotoShop, you can't read anything. Anyway, the screen shot graphic defaults to 96 dpi. To get it into Frame at 100%, you have to use 168 dpi (=96x2); 96 dpi displays at 175%. This is for both BMPs or WMFs. There is some weird, inverse math going on, invisible to me, that I have racked my brain trying to figure out. I am wondering if anyone on this list has cracked the code to get clear graphics from PDAs into Frame. Or can point me to some resources. My searches come up dry. The clearest graphic I have ever seen came from someone using an MSDN tool and that is not an option for me at this time. Thanks!
