Why Region Screenshots Beat Full-Page Captures in PDFs

Crop the diagram, table, or passage you need — then attach it to a note. Privacy-friendly screenshot workflow for PDF reading.

Sometimes text is not enough. A chart, table, or layout carries the idea. Region screenshots beat dumping random full-page PNGs into a folder.

When to capture

  • Formulas and schematics
  • Table rows
  • Layout you want to show someone later

Workflow

  1. Enter region select and drag only what you need
  2. Add a short label (“p.12 — results table”)
  3. Reminds / export to come back later

In NarratorPDF, screenshots stay on your device; text notes can sync when signed in — balancing cost and privacy.
