I can't use the capture on osx for the reasons already mentioned. my py skills are limited but i will look at PIL and reportlab combo- thanks for the tip. generally tracing a bitmap to vector does not give good results if you have small fonts in the bitmap. that being said its still an easy and straightforward option. thanks for all your help. i will post if i find some great way to save postscript out of pyglet.
