Only captures PDFs?
Authored by: carsten on Aug 29, '02 07:43:14PM

You can still use the Grab utility, which only saves a TIFF file. At least a TIFF is more useful than a PDF for cropping or otherwise manipulating the screen shot.

The defaults write hack no longer works in 10.2, and unfortunately even the latest TinkerTool hasn't found a way to work around this yet.

PDF might be a nice *option* to have sometimes, but I would rather use PNG.

My question to Apple is, which BRANIAC at Apple decided that command-shift-3 and /usr/sbin/screencapture should now ONLY create PDF files, where PNG and TIFF were previously available too? GRrrr
