Screen Shots from PDAs

[Gillian Flato]

I used Vidya Screen Capture software (cost: $10.00). This allowed me to
take captures on the PFA. 

 Then I had Microsoft ActiveSync on my system. This maintained a synced
folder on my desktop so any capture I took I saved to the synced folder
and then after the automatic sync, the captures were on my desktop. 

It took high quality captures and made life very easy.

Thanks,

Gillian

Subject: Screen Shots from PDAs

I am curious to know if anyone on this lists has to work with screen
shots 
taken from PDA devices. 
I have been struggling with this for a few years and think I have found 
the best formula, but it still doesn't print the way I would like. 

I use Microsoft Remote Display on my PC to run the device from my PC and

then take screen shots with Paint Shop Pro. There is some kind of 
distortion every time. The actual size of the graphic is usually a full 
square inch larger than the actual screen. If you try to re-size in
Paint 
Shop or PhotoShop, you can't read anything. 

Anyway, the screen shot graphic defaults to 96 dpi. To get it into Frame

at 100%, you have to use 168 dpi (=96x2); 96 dpi displays at 175%. This
is 
for both BMPs or WMFs.

There is some weird, inverse math going on, invisible to me, that I have

racked my brain trying to figure out. I am wondering if anyone on this 
list has cracked the code to get clear graphics from PDAs into Frame. Or

can point me to some resources. My searches come up dry.

The clearest graphic I have ever seen came from someone using an MSDN
tool 
and that is not an option for me at this time. 

Thanks!
