When I take a screenshot of a PDF, the screenshot is blurry when I paste it into Word or OneNote.

    I use Windows+Shift+S for the convenient lasso & then paste. I didn't know about the Insert function.

    It was a screen resolution issue. I've two screens running & I had changed resolution. Changing it back corrected the issue. Thank you for the quick response!

    Why take a screenshot?

    Word: Insert > Object > PDF

    OneNote: PDF > Print > Send to OneNote  (other ways too)

    Hi Dr.Thomas.Wright, My name is Jeremy, a Windows Community Member. I'll be happy to help you out today. Let’s see what I can do. :)

    I realize the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run the System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below-given steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • In Command prompt type sfc /scannow and press enter.
    • Restart the computer.
    • If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:
    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
    • In the command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command: 
                DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

          DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

    Please let us know how it goes

    Regards,

    Jeremy
