Package screenshots into a single PDF with a deliberate order and readable image dimensions. Start with the destination requirements, work from a copy, and inspect the downloaded result. Confirm the screenshots are in order, text remains readable, and sensitive unrelated content is not included. This keeps the workflow reversible and gives you a concrete final file to review before the next step.

Prepare the screenshot PDF before processing

Package screenshots into a single PDF with a deliberate order and readable image dimensions. Record the source filename, size, page count, and any destination rules first. PDFStay's normal screenshot PDF workflow is designed to process the PDF in the current browser session rather than upload it to PDFStay servers. Your own organization or destination policy remains the final authority.1, 2

  4. Open the exact output and confirm the screenshots are in order, text remains readable, and sensitive unrelated content is not included.

FAQ

What should I check in a screenshot PDF?

Confirm the screenshots are in order, text remains readable, and sensitive unrelated content is not included. Keep the source until the final recipient, portal, or reviewer has accepted the output.

Does PDFStay guarantee that every screenshot PDF will be accepted?

No. PDF behavior depends on the source file, browser memory, document features, and the destination system. Follow the destination instructions and verify the exact output.
