Screen shots and .eps files

Jul 9, 2007 6:02AM PDT

Is there a way to save a screen shot of the desktop as an .eps file? The only way I've come across is to use Adobe Acrobat Standard, but I don't want to buy that just for this.

it's a little messy but definitely doable.

Using Grab, take your screenshot and save it as a .Tiff file.
Open that file in GraphicConvertor and then save it out as an EPS file.

Seemed to work for me without too much trouble.

Let us know
