How does one change the Preference for opening a screen shot (from .pdf to preview). I frequently drop screen snaps into AppleWorks documents, but can't do that with .pdf; also have to wait for Acrobat to tumble.
How does one get Grab to grab a screen shot? I tried to use it intuitively but no luck. I can get Finder's windows, menus, selected areas or full screen using either Command-Shift-3 or -4?. So maybe I don't need Grab? Anne On Thursday, January 16, 2003, at 06:02 PM, Ward Oldham wrote: > Hi John, > > I doubt your system is creating damaged .pdf files.
