Shift-Apple-3.

It'll drop a PDF on your desktop.  There's also Shift-Apple-4, then space to capture the current window.

These are in the system preferences under Keyboard and Mouse, then the Keyboard shortcuts.

 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

When you use Shift-Cmd-4, you can then press space and it will select a window for you.

If you use control with the functions (eg Control-Shift-Cmd-3 or Control-Shift-Cmd-4) the captured image is held in clipboard/copy buffer rather than creating a file on the desktop

(Cmd = Apple/Clover)

For me it drops a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file on the desktop, sequenced as Picture 1.png, Picture 2.png, etc

Also note that if you have dual displays in spanning mode, then Cmd-Shift-3 will create two files, one for each display

also if you try cmd+shift+4 you get a crosshair that allows you to select the area you want dumped to the file.

There is also WebSnapper for capturing long scrolling HTML pages and supports management of multiple page PDF output files.
