32bit Bitmaps for life!  ;D

I love png now, its great.

Trust, shut up please. I should't need an external program to open an image, period. For one it's stupid, two, it's a fucking waste of computer space, regaurdless of the size of the program.

#2: PDF is huge and ugly, and wastes my bandwidth.

#3: What the fuck does my internet browser have to do with a damn thing? I've used Firefox since I met iago.

#4: Macs suck.

#5: Macs suck.

Think before you post something like that.

Oh, we're sorry your computer doesn't come with a PDF viewer, but does everything else you need. Would you hate it if you had to download every codec so you could enjoy your MP3s, oggs, FLACs, m4as, etc? If you had to download xvid and divx for your video files? If you had to download libraries so you could run games?

pdf is the standard for printable documents, and many manuals are downloadable in .pdf format.

They're quite small, and they aren't ugly. In fact, I don't find many eBooks outside of .pdf format.

Macintosh is a small fraction of the total number of desktop computers in the world. If it's a standard in Mac, accept it.

Lossless PDF files are very very good quality. If it's an image, it's practically perfect.

.CHM is quite common.

Who cares if it's good quality; you don't need perfect quality for a screenshot.

1.2MB is a damned bulky screenshot.

Is a screenshot a printable document, manual, or eBook?

I don't think he was saying he couldn't view the document either, Newby.  More like it was a shitty format to save a screenshot in (not that I care or anything).

Asside from that, Newby, none of us said that PDF's suck (though it seems Scr33n0r may have been implying that, I think he was speaking strictly about screenshots), we just said it's not a very optimized format for a screenshot.

[Ergot]

Agreed, PDF has it purposes... great for Ebook and maps or something that need extreme quality... just not screenshots ;P

[Ryan Marcus]

Well.. If you wanted to know exactly how far the drop shadow was on the menu bar... :)

PDF sounding cooler then JPG is a joke. Note the ;)

[drka]

that's Acrobat Reader not PDF

i use Foxit PDF Reader and it loads in about a second

Omg, you got a fact right! But still, 1.3 MB is rather large for a screenshot :P

lol. his PDF maker prolly sucks. maybe a PDF compressor could make the size smaller :P

[Sidoh]

The only reasonable way for it to be smaller is to reduce the quality, which could be done on a normal image as well.  :P

Screenshots, wasn't planning to take this any further then how much PDF sucks for imaging.

[Sidoh]

Great job taking us offtopic! :D

[TheSickEmpire]

Did I mention OSX sucks? Just had to throw that out there, you know, for good measure.
