Full Page Screenshot?

by Mark Blaze
14 replies
Hey,

Im trying to create a screenshot of a wordpress document for a client's website as they want their poster on their website but it need's to be fully readable and at an A4 size a print preview screenshot isn't good enough and viewing it at 100% zoom means a screenshot would cut the image in 3 or 4 pieces.

Is there any way i can take a screenshot of it so it keep's the same high quality as printing and then scanning it would loose alot of quality.

Only info i can find is on print screening a web page in full which i can do but for a word document it doesn't work :S

Thanks in advance

Mark Blaze

    print screen key - microsoft paint - right click - paste

    That should paste a screen shot into MS Paint at the resolution of your monitor.

    If you have windows xp - install the microsoft image resizer power toy. Then you can resize the screen shot to any size you want.

    I usually take my screen shots in 1280X1024, then resize them to 800X600 or 640X480.

      I tried just taking a normal screenshot but if for example you have to have the document set to page width then you only see the first 1/3 of the document unless you scroll down!

      Then if i want to view all of the document on my monitor and take a screenshot then the picture is too small and i cannot read the text.

      Even with a different resolution the image is too small :S

      He is right, that is the easiest way to go.

    I would recommend the Screengrab! add-on for firefox.

    On the Mac there's two cool software tools:

    FREE: Paparrazi
    Paparazzi!

    Paid: Little Snapper
    LittleSnapper - Screenshot and Website Capture for Mac OS X Leopard

    Both work great, though I tend to use Little Snapper
    more often because it's integrated with a image
    hosting site EmberApp.

    Hope this helps,

    Brian

    Print the page as pdf using a free pdf writer like DoPdf.
    Then convert it into a jpeg image.

    just hit the print screen button and then pase it to adobe photoshop to edit, I think the major problem here is your printing Materials sir, like you printer, Select a printer that capable of high quality printing.

    Everybody who told you snagit was dead on
    however a free program that's working out pretty good for me is PhotoScape

    I love it... Download Photoscape, Photoscape 3.5 Download

    Fireshot is a free plugin for Firefox that I use. It allows you to "capture visible area" or "capture entire page". Does exactly what it says on the box. Highly recommended.

    As an aside, any image you capture will be at a resolution significantly lower than print quality, regardless of the software used - for photo quality prints you really want 300DPI, but most screengrabs will be 96DPI at best.
