     Why do you want/need to do the sharpening in "a PDF tool"? Why can't   
   you just sharpen the screenshots?

     See above.   
      
     BTW, have you considered using Windows Snipping Tool (instead of   
   IrfanView) to make the screenshots? (I don't know which of the two is   
   more suitable for your task.)   
      
   > b. Once you have the screenshots, how do you assemble 200 of them (PDF).   
      
     As knuttle mentioned, IrfanView can make a multipage PDF from images,   
   not need for other tools (like Adobe Acrobat Writer which you mentioned).   
      
   > c. And is there an editor out there that sharpens the images (editors).   
      
     See above. As to sharpening images, you may also want to look at the   
   free software of the major camera brands. I used Nikon's software.
