Generally speaking, I don't make PDFs of my material. I have no easy-to-use PDF software, nor do I have extra time to screw around making PDFs. Within the archive I generally offer hi-res JPEGs. People can make their own PDFs from my JPEGs if they like. But...I do make tons of PDFs on the fly and with no software, fuss or muss. I generally make these to document websites I visit instead of shooting screenshots of their website or to memorialize notable things I find online. But before you do all this, search to see if the site already has a PDF that they offer. Sometimes it may show up in a Google search, when it does not show up at the website. Here are 2 example PDFs I made a few minutes ago with the method below. Land Id® Farm & Ranch Map Examples D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive To make a PDF do the following. 1) Highlight the material. Right click, then left click on print. Save as PDF. Sometimes you have to point the cursor at the highlighted material, other times you have to point it at white space before clicking. 2) If that does not work, you just try right clicking on the page and hitting print. That later method is what I did here, as the highlight and print did not work. Sometimes neither method works well and you have to archive it via screenshots. I've written about screen recorders before. Look it up. Another possibility is to do a full-page screenshot with Windows. But that is my least favorite as it is low-res. When you are out and about and see something notable, spend a few seconds being a citizen archivist. Turn the material into a PDF and upload it to the Internet Archive to donate to the historical record. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

How do I screen grab from a blu ray or DVD? Is there a certain program I have to use? I'm using the program DVD Player on my mac and the screen shot feature, Shift + Command + 3, but this feature doesn't capture the image that's on DVD Player.
