Tip: Creating PDFs from the clipboard

I learned something new today. If you need to create a PDF of a website for client review (I know I could just send them a link, but this time they wanted a PDF to review), you can do so easily if you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat.

Take a screenshot of your browser by holding down the "alt" key and pressing the "Print Screen" button on your PC keyboard. Then open up Acrobat, and from the File menu choose "Create PDF" and then "From Clipboard Image". After a couple seconds, Acrobat opens a new window with your screeshot in it. Then just save it and your done.

I used to have to take the screenshot, paste it into a new photoshop doc, save a Jpeg, and then create the PDF. It's really nice to find time-saving ways of doing things differently.
