You'd be hard pressed to develop anything worse than Adobe's Acrobat
Reader. Just try printing something from it, you won't get anything
remotely like what's on the screen. I often have to screengrab it and
print it from Paintshop Pro.

Huh? I never had any such problem printing from adobe reader reliably.

I have, I never get the size I expect. Easier to put it into a photo
editor with a screengrab, then you can fit to page etc.


Pdfs are vector formats and by definition can be scaled to any size without
losing resolution*. A pdf print dialogue box always has a "shrink to fit"
and/or "scale to page" option.

By taking a screenshot your rasterising the page and losing the benefit of
the pdf.

* Unless it had been saved as raster format. But that's dumb so not common
these days.


Wait, there are many scanners or scanner applications that save directly
as PDF. And in that case, they use bitmaps.


That's true. I was meaning pdfs you generally get online.
