Be sure your screen is the way you want it before doing this. Acrobat will capture what's on the entire screen immediately.


When you have chosen this command, the cursor changes to a camera icon. Click on the open window you wish to capture, and Acrobat will do the rest.


The cursor will change into a crosshair. Click and drag over a portion of the screen you wish to capture, then release the mouse button. Acrobat will open a PDF with that section of the screen.
