Thanks !

Hi:

That worked ... thanks !

Can you edit a pdf file with SC ?

I tried editing a pdf file via Dragging & Dropping it onto the edit window.

I received this dialog box (jpg file attached), but I received no picture to edit...just a blank edit area.

Thank you

P.S.
I couldn't find a way to capture the pop-up Dialog Box.
I used the program SnapShot to capture the image of the Dialog Box, so that I could attach it.

Can I capture an dynamic window (e.g., Dialog Box) that pops-up in front of the image that I am trying to edit ?

Hi:

Thank you for your reply.

Before I get started...
How are you making previously posted comments/replies appear in aqua colored boxes ?
It does make things easier to read.

Below, between the  2 =========== lines are previously posted comments.

I numbered the above:
1) I'm unclear here: when you say 'Page 1', what do you mean - it should be one single image

Reply:
When viewing the pdf file for the captured image, the image takes 3 screens/pages in Adobe reader, in order to view the entire saved image.
In other words,, I must scroll down in order to view the entire captured image.

When I copied the file info and pasted it into a Word document, only Page 1 of the pdf file (when viewed in Adobe reader) appeared pasted into the Word .doc file.  The document (image) was truncated.

2) same as above

See my comments to 1) (above)

3) PDF in Adobe Reader will print a large image here if my printer page-size is big enough for the image - otherwise it can print a detail, or 'fit-to-page'.

OK...let me ask a different question.
The captured image is a pdf file.
When viewed in Adobe reader, it fills about 2.5 screens on my laptop...I must scroll to view the entire capture.
If I try to print this, its either does a fit-to-page and prints a reduced image...or... only prints one page (of 3).
I believe that it only printed Page 2 (of 3).  Why page 2 ?  I have no idea.
It did not print the entire captured image.
Should it ???

Say that I have a pdf file that is some type of document, like a chapter for a book that is 15 pages long.
If I select Print, it will print the 15 single sided sheets, unless specified otherwise.
Why doesn't the image captured as pdf file (shown as 3 pages in Adobe reader) print on 3 sheets of paper ?
Should it ???

And, by capturing an integer number of successive full-screen snapshots, I am capturing more information than what I may want. Example:   I may only want to capture the area of 2.25 screens, but in order to do so, I must capture 3 full screens; thus, I have extra information that I may not want.

I do not understand what your reply.

The problem with cropping is that I cannot see the red rectangle to scroll down the screen

Say that the screen's horizontal width is X, and its vertical length is Y
Say that I want to crop a width x < x and a length y < Y.
After initial view of the red rectangle, it disappears.
So, I have no idea where it is if I am trying to scroll down the screen,

Am I doing something wrong ?

Thank you

*** UPDATE: ***

I just went back to look at things again...the pdf , jpg , and png files captured.
If I open the pdf file on Adobe reader, it fills about 2.5 screens (vertically) on my laptop,
yet, when I look at the top Adobe menu bar, near where it shows the % magnification,
it shows that it is viewing Page 1/1 : so there is only 1 page ... but it is long.

If I try to print it without using shrink-to-fit (fit-to-page), it crops a smaller area, vertically and horizontally to print.

If I drag & drop the pdf file into a Word document, it gets truncated vertically (along it length), and it is offset to the horizontally
to the right based on the doc's margins.  I must resize the file (grabbing its resize tabs at its corners) to make it fit within the Word document.

If I drag & drop the jpg file into a Word document, the file automatically gets resized (fit-to-page) basd on its length.

Similalry, for a png file.
