I need to create compact/fast PostScript illustrations for a PM application's documentation. Is there a way to capture a high-level description of a PM screen? I know that there are numerous screen-capture programs that take a snapshot of the bitmap (I currently use one), but this is huge and takes forever to print as an included illustration in PostScript. I'd rather have a high-level description such as what one would get when writing to a PostScript printer's presentation space. PM looks like it could almost do this, if one could slide the printer driver between the desktop and the video driver and force a screen repaint, but there are just enough differences between the presentation spaces to cause trouble, and I know of no way to intercept the graphics calls from the applications and redirect them to the printer driver.
