   Thanks for that advice, since this is not a question of how to download a   
   book, but how to save something that is presented only on screen in about   
   two hundred instances.   
      
   I have a working solution so what I'm seeking from experts is a better   
   working solution - specifically with higher resolution than the solution.   
      
   I did change my monitor from the recommended to other resolutions, but none   
   were as good as the recommended resolution (1920x1080) but that could be   
   expected since it was the highest resolution offered by Win+I > Display.

   I was hoping to "sharpen" the image where I was hoping there is a PDF tool   
   out there which does that - much like Irfanview sharpens a JPEG snapshot.

   The question is all about finding a PDF screenshotter (c.t.p) that can be   
   edited to be sharper (c.e) on the Windows platform (a.c.o.w-10).   
      
   The situation, summarized is:   
   a. How do you obtain a sharper screenshot than your resolution (windows).   
   b. Once you have the screenshots, how do you assemble 200 of them (PDF).   
   c. And is there an editor out there that sharpens the images (editors).   
      
   Otherwise, my approach (which is essentially the first approach that I took   
   to the problem of assembling & sharpening 200 screenshots) is the best.   
      
   But I asked the question here in the hopes to find a better solution.
