Re: PDF screenshots

[Dina Davidson <DinaD -at- XANTREX -dot- COM>]

Also, ensure that you have your Distiller settings, specifically the
Compression options within Job Options, set so that graphics are either not
compressed at all or use a "non-lossy" compression option such as ZIP or
CCIT.

The other compressions result in "jaggy" screen shots.
