Turning a screenshot into a PDF preserves the screenshot exactly as it appears on your computer. By saving a screenshot in the Portable Document Format (PDF), make sure the file can be opened on any other PCwith a free copy of Adobe Reader.
Let’s imagine there is a screenshot you want to use in a presentation. How do you put a screenshot image in a Portable Document Format (PDF) presentation file? Do you insert it? Well, doing that can lower the quality of the screenshot. What you can do instead is to turn the screenshot into a PDF using PDFelement. You can edit your screenshot/image as well. Doesn’t that sound useful? Here is how you can do it.
How to Convert Screenshot to PDF
After opening PDFelement, click the Create PDF tab to select the screenshot to be opened. Then it has already been created into a PDF document, and you only need to click the File>Save As button to save it on your computer.
- Go to the “Home” section, and click on the box “From File,” which will let you open any file and convert it into a PDF.
- Browse your computer and choose the screenshot/image you want to convert to PDF, then click “Open.”
- It will convert your image into a PDF file. You can then save your screenshot as a PDF file. Locate “File” > “Save As” and select the path where you want to save your document.
- Edit the Screenshot (Optional).
If there is any text in the image, you can perform OCR for your screenshot. This action will make the file editable and searchable. You can then change the text font, size, style, bold, etc. Here are more steps about how to edit scanned PDFs.
