Use AppleScript to capture PDF screenshots in 10.4
Authored by: gurman on Jun 15, '05 03:12:13PM
What's wrong with PNG? It doesn't scale up well.

What's wrong with changing default behavior, without documenting it or explaining to the user in Help or man pages how to change it?

FWIW, I reported this as a bug to Apple, and got the expected reply; that is, that it's working as expected. They were kind enough, however, to give the new, 10.4.x-compatible syntax for changing the file format default for screencapture:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type pdf

If you prefer jpg, or whatever, you can replace "pdf" with that, and switch back to "png" if you like.
