I guess I didn't make myself clear: by print I meant print the
information text to the PDF queue, and not just a picture of the
information. The former means I can search/sort/filter it etc,
again at leisure.
BTW I think I'm a little ahead of you here. I press the single
keystroke AltL-F11 for a window/root screenshot (with scrot).
However, in view of the number of pages, it's easier to press
Shift-AltL-F12 to start a video capture and then scroll through
the pages. On replaying it, I can use Pause to read it. But it's
not the same.
Cheers,
David.
