A crude method is to copy the screen image to the clipboard with the
"print screen" key, then paste this into paint, and output as a .bmp or
other format of your choice. The limited screen resolution is the problem
with this method, especially with large drawings.
Another way is to take a PostScript printer output and
run it through a converter, such as GhostScript to convert it to a
...pdf file. This works quite well. GhostScript is shareware.
