Unable to save Mac screen captures to PDF more

I used to be able to save Apple screenshots on a Mac in PDF format. I even had an app which allow me to choose the output on the fly format and also I would rename the PDF file and the location to be saved. He worked for many years (or so it seemed). Recently, I had to go back to this workflow and in El captain, the PDF save screenshots option seems to be deleted. I can't find the app on the App Store. Research on new applications to get PDF save capacity only provides applications with outputs of Screen Capture image.

My workflow is that I generally capture screens (music) in PDF format, can combine unique screenshots in a PDF document and editorially mark upward. In general, I've used Acrobat Reader or even Acrobat Pro and occasionally, an excerpt. The team uses Acrobat and therefore the end result must be look great with annotations in Acrobat.

New savings Apple of the screenshots is now PNG and Acrobat do not like these and will not let me import them in PDF format. I don't want to go to a 3rd party app to convert png to PDF. That's happened? Where is the PDF option?  Is - this another example of animosity Adobe vs Apple?  I even upgraded to Adobe Creative Cloud applications complete thinking that it would improve the material. Acrobat DC does not seem to do better.

I also want to move the workflow of digital edition for iPad and iOS.  It would be nice to have everything together, including the integration of iCloud or DropBox for Mac/iOS compatibility and collaboration group.

The iPad Pro and Apple pencil (with its ultra-fine tip) could do a great digital editing and the combination of editorial markup. This could be very exciting. However, because the group needs Acrobat for markup editorial, I think I still need screenshots of Acrobat PDF.

Help! The popular alternative solutions or apps. Thanks in advance.

PS - I tried to type this question into an iPad, and the police was white (so invisible). Wow.

What version of Mac OS were you using that allowed the registration of the screenshots as something else? I just checked our oldest work Mac, a PowerMac G4 OS 10.4 'Tiger' running and, when the tiger was the most recent thing 11 years ago, it is by default in .png. Each OSX release since records in .png. It is not new on El Capitan.

Have you used a third party before capture app? Did you use a Terminal command to change the default format? This article shows how to use the Terminal to make the change in pdf format:

  • Unable to save a file "smaller file" pdf from illustrator 5.5

  • Unable to save the screen resolution settings

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate and just updated my monitor that supports 1920 x 1080 resolution.  I changed the resolution 1920 x 1080 and click on apply and OK.  When I log off and back on or restart the machine the screen resolution dates back to 1680 x 1050, which was my old monitor resolution.  My monitor is correctly identified by brand and model in the advanced settings and resolution of 1920 x 1080 is always available, Windows just won't save!

    I can make a permanent change in the registry?  It becomes annoying to have to adjust the resolution of every time!

    Thank you.

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION (to my problem at least).  It turns out that it's Windows Live Mesh that was causing the problem.  Uninstalled Live Mesh and no longer have the problem.  Guess I don't use mesh until they solve the problem with the solution of problems.

  • Cannot open a PDF file. Unable to save a PDF file on my MAC computer

    Hi I have problems with my Adobe Reader software on my Mac... Mac OSX version 10.7.5.  It all started when I update my Adobe Reader class.  Since then, I always get a saying of the window "Adobe Reader could not open '_' because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and was not properly decoded."

    I couldn't open any PDF on my desk.  I could also save a document as a pdf, but it looks like a notebook on my office file... not the normal red pdf file.

    I don't know how I can fix the problem.

    Hi jcs174,

    If you want to save a pdf file open in Safari on your machine, use the Save as option in the player window. Simply click on one of the buttons below screenshots to save a pdf file to any location on your computer.

    or

    To summarize the question, if you had opened a PDF from the Internet in a browser plug-in, you must use the backup feature in the plug-in, but not the Safari file > Export PDF or file > save as...

    Please let us know if this solution works for you and you are able to save and view PDFs files locally.

    Kind regards

    How to install an earlier version of Acrobat reader that allows me to do and PRINT of the or "Save as" in the open PDF file

    If you use Adobe Reader, not Adobe Acrobat, so I would suggest that you switch to a more reliable as Foxit PDF reader.
     
     

    Google Chrome will be available during the download. Simply uncheck the box when you see it.
     
     
     
    Otherwise, the Forums Adobe would be the best place to ask.

    Unable to save the 'Release Date' field in iTunes/Windows 12.4.0.119

    I've just updated to 12.4.0.119 and can no longer add Release Date for a TV show.  When I go to "Get Info" and type the release Date, it allows me to enter a valid date, but as soon as I have the label off the field it emerges by itself.  If I enter the date and click on 'Ok', the date is not recorded.

    I had this same problem Windows 10. Just tested it on iTunes/Mac 12.4.0.119 - this platform will not yet you allow to select the release Date field to make an entry.

    It is a major issue, as AppleTV allow no sorting replacing television programs other than by Release Date.

    Dislikes 8.0! Cannot use my 'screen capture' as I LOVE REALLY! How to return to an earlier version?

    I am having trouble finding a way to return a single step (version - or more) to get the add-on called "Screen Grab" (with a right click) working again!

    FireFox 8.0 we 'OK' but I don't really miss being able to use the screen saver! Honestly, I miss it a lot more than I like the new version of FF.

    Please understand I HAVE ALWAYS LOVE FIREFOX!

    Thank you all for your comments! Really very happy to be "more operational"! The new version of Screen Grab works great with Firefox 8 now!

    Hey John!
    We made a compatible version based on the latest version of screengrab (0.96.3).

  • Broken screen capture hotkey

    Hi all

    I have a 15 "MBPR El Capitan 10.11.1 running. Since switching to El Cap, capture screen keyboard shortcuts no longer work. When you press Command + Shift + 3 or + 4, nothing happens. No cap on the desktop image; No camera pinging. nothing! If I disable keyboard shortcuts in the keyboard preferences and try the same sequence of keyboard, I get the error 'thump' I'm using a sound signaling empty shortcut. If I re - activate the shortcuts on the screen, I'm back for nothing.

    I understand the plist for the screenshots has been moved to the beginning with the Mavericks, but I can't locate any pref/plist file for screenshot of trash/troubleshooting. Ive rebooted several times and to do so not as magically lights up this function again. I have another Mac (a Mini) also runs 10.11.1 and this feature works very well there.

    Advice on where other digging around for possibly troubleshoot? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Im having the same problem, so I tried to open the clamp, from/applications/utilities, which is basically an enhanced version of screen capture and mine hangs on opening with errors.

    Im going to try a clean install with a new download of El Capitan possibly earlier this week next to see if that solves the problem.

    Also, you could try manually terminal: screencapture t 10 ~/Desktop/screenshot.png and see if you get an error or not.

    Write caching without a doubt "does apply to external hard drives", but it is usually disabled to prevent to sort the problem you are experiencing.

    I've seen several positions reporting to the same question that you do.  All of these positions were with SATA drives.  Is your Seagate eSATA drive?

    The disc is recognized as an external drive in Device Manager?  In Device Manager, go to the drive properties dialog box and click the policies tab.  An external drive should have two options: "Optimize for quick removal" and "Optimize for performance".  An internal hard drive shows the options as gray (with 'performance' selected), but there should also be a checkbox "Enable disk write cache" under the second option.

    What shows in your policies tab?

    If I understand correctly, "writeback" or "write behind" is implemented by disc material or its pilot.  If the option is not available on the drive properties > policies tab, I would suggest to contact Seagate support.
