Somebody mentioned a long while back that the Linux free utility xv 
(comes with Red Hat Linux) could capture a screen. I use xv many times 
during the day. Day in and day out. I just got around to reading the 
manual. Duh! The command is "GRAB".

Works great on .pdf files. I need to refine the process 
a bit and hide the xv window (which is an option) but here is my first 
try capturing a zoomed in .pdf file drawing. This will be a powerful 
tool for future stuff on the news letter.
