SnagIt Printer Capture

Printer Capture allows you to capture and manipulate the print output from any application as a digital image. This allows you to create an image file of what the printed material would have looked like if you had printed it on a printer.

When you install SnagIt, you are asked if you want to install the SnagIt Printer. If you select to install it, a printer is added to your system. You can also install the printer from SnagIt later. This new printer is listed in Start > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes and can be selected from your Windows applications print function, just like any other printer. On Windows XP, the new printer is included in Start > Printers and Faxes.

When you print pages to SnagIt Printer from an application, digital images of those pages are created. These images can be in any graphic file format SnagIt supports, with the default selection being PDF. SnagIt does not need to be running when you select the SnagIt Printer from an application; it starts automatically and begins the capture using the settings of the Printer Capture tool.

Why use Printer Capture?

With SnagIt's Printer Capture feature, you can:

Print without a printer to save paper by allowing you to get an accurate print preview.
Print anywhere without being connected to a printer. The resulting graphic files can be transferred or e-mailed to a system that has a printer.
Convert any file format that can be printed into standard graphic file formats or electronic documents. This eliminates the need to scan paper output to create electronic documents.
Add graphic file format export to any application that can print.
Share documents without special software to view them.
Print documents to e-mail so they can be sent online instead of using paper mail or fax.
Electronically distribute multiple copies of documents for any purpose: reports, invoices, drawings, plans, photos, and legal correspondence. Since these documents are graphic files, they are less likely to be modified by the recipient, increasing security.
Create a virus-free version of a document, even if the original contained a virus.
Automatically filter and redirect your print output.

Printer Capture enhances printing in a number of ways. You can:

Print multiple pages per sheet (2, 4, 6, 8, or 16) (Windows 2000 and XP only).
Control margins and scale the image in ways the original application may not have supported.
Annotate output, add a watermark, or include a border or frame.
