Surfing Twitter today, reminded me of a little known feature in Snagit that can save you lots of time...

Snagit has a 'printer' capture option. Snagit shows up as a 'printer' that you can choose when you go to print an image or document. This is useful for several reasons - you can use Snagit as a virtual printer. You don't need to print out your critical documents that you need to archive because the Printer Capture will capture and save your output as a graphical file. It saves it exactly as it would print so you now have an electronic version of your document - no need to print and file your document.

OK, how many of you have ever been sent a PDF that you're expected to print, fill out by hand and fax back? I often travel so I don't always have access to a printer or a fax machine. And, I'll be honest, I'm lazy - that's far too many steps. I use Snagit's Printer Capture to virtually print the document and use Snagit's text options to fill out the needed fields. I can even add a watermark to the doc if needed. Then, I can save the document as a PDF and just email and share the document with anyone.

And, as Hal Rottenberg notes on Twitter, '"@TechSmith":http://twitter.com/techsmith I hate hand-writing forms. I have bad handwriting, that may have something to do with it. :)'. I have the same issue - if I fill out the form by hand, people might have a hard time reading it. It's far easier and faster for me to type out the fields.
