I'm running into a variety of issues designing a standalone which will import 
PDF's.  If quicktime isn't installed it seems impossible and even if the user 
installs it (Windows) it often doesn't work for certain PDF's.

With this in mind I thought I'd let users open their PDF's in whatever program 
they choose and use Livecode's import snapshot command.  I don't pass a 
rectangle since I don't know where the image is on screen and unfortunately it 
seems I can't get the rectangle [the user opens up] returned to me.  I do, 
however, get an image imported, although on a system with two monitors in 
extended display mode it seems almost random where the actual snapshot gets 
taken from.  It's anything but where the user actually dragged.

Does anybody have any suggestions for grabbing a snapshot of the same rectangle 
the user opens up on the desktop or in another application?

Thanks,

Ray Horsley
