A friend is frustrated by the way OS X puts screen shots in PDF format. Is
there a setting in OS X to change the way this is done? So you auto end up
with a PICT? 

I can do it by opening the PDF in Illustrator and exporting as a PICT (and
lots else) but my friend is a poor schmuck in spite of being a very clever
engineer and would not do things in two steps, this is for lesser beings
like me... 

I must say, it does not look very sensible of Apple to have done this given
the huge file size of PDFs. Why rip the past up so violently? PICTs are
things all older Mac software understand and they are easy to convert to jpg
etc.
