    Alt - Print Screen

    I've just got a new keyboard, but for some reason it won't copy anything when I alt+print screen... is there anything that I might not be doing right? I've installed the software + num lock, cap lock etc work fine... I need to screen dump an image out of a pdf cos I can't copy+paste it..

    is there another way to do a screen dump?

    can anyone see any sticky keys i'm missing?

    alt + print screen is for the active window, print screen's for the whole lot.

    scruf - the link doesn't work or the prog doesn't work? Have a look here for others. Some programs disable screen capturing by normal methods, if so try and get a full copy of acrobat and you should be able to dump the pdf as a jpeg. Another reason (can't remember whether this will apply or not) is that you can't screen capture anything utilising the video overlay, not sure if pdf readers use it or not.
