How to print documents to pictures (gif, bmp etc.) on windows
What is the easiest way to capture the printout of a document in a picture (i.e. GIF, BMP etc.)? Making a screenshot does not help, since the printout is different and larger than the screen. Is there a special printer driver for windows that captures the printout into pictures?
You can use PDFCreator. It's free and open source. Here's a bit more info on it:
