I wish to sell a mobile phone in the MM, I have a CheckMend report but cannot for the life of me work out how to take a screenshot of the full report page?

Any suggestions? I see adverts in the MM selling mobiles where folk seem to have done this, whats the secret? :)

There's about a quarter of the PDF out of sight at the bottom of the screen when you open the PDF, to see it you need to scroll down. Windows Snipping Tool doesn't scroll down the page as far as I can see, it will only snip whats on the currently viewed page.

zoom out in windows. or will that leave the text too small?

edit: i mean zoom the webpage out a bit.....not windows!
 
Yes, tried zooming out but it does leave the text a little too small to read.

I see a lot of full scale CheckMend report screenshots in the MM mobiles section so there must be a way to do it!! :D
 
i've used it CheckMend reports before and don't remember having to do any sort of faffing to get a screen shot of the full report but it's quite a while back so unfortunately i'm not much more use to you! hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge comes along soon.

might be worth being cheeky and looking for a full screen report on the MM and tagging the poster in this chat see if they can shed any light.
 
Use Edge/Firefox snipping tool (Ctrl-Shift-S) - this will do a snapshot of the full page, not just what is visible
 
Sharex is free software
It can do amongst other things scrolling screenshot
Assuming you're on a pc
If its on an android device there's also ways to do it
 
Quite simple in Linux/*BSD with pdftoppm (poppler) and montage (imagemagick):

Code: 
INPUT_PDF=in.pdf
OUTPUT_IMAGE=out.png
PIXELS_WIDE=1000
PAGES_WIDE=1

pdftoppm "${INPUT_PDF}" temp
montage temp*.ppm -tile ${PAGES_WIDE}x -geometry ${PIXELS_WIDE}x "${OUTPUT_IMAGE}"

Doesn't appear to work for me. I get the two options available in the top right, but doesn't seem to show or copy the whole page? This would be very handy if i could get it to work.

My goto was just print screen, maybe with a zoom out, and copy paste into paint and crop, then do it again with the rest i missed.
