Under Linux, with xfce I can see the way to do it:

 * with zim's custom script
 *   + screenshoter
 * + a script converting it to pdf or what ever...

It could do the trick.

I already setup a script for the screenshoter linked on the « open with 
» action which:

1. name the screen capture my way
2. upload the picture on a FTP sever
3. convert into a URL
4. and push the URL into the clipboard for easy pasting as an image on
   a forum for example.


Under windows, could be achieved the same way but tools may be harder to 
setup to work together.

I currently use screenshoter to copy the area in the clipboard and paste 
it into zim.
Could you give a reason to do it in pdf instead?

I remember GreenShot <http://getgreenshot.org/> under windows for screen 
capture...
May be a good start.

Regards,
Sylvain.
