Scrolling Capture Not Working Snagit
Ortiz Ullery
Note: Scrolling Arrows may not appear if the application, browser, or website does not support automatic scrolling, or if scrolling capture is not enabled. To troubleshoot scrolling issues, see our technical support articles for Windows or Mac.
Put simply, a scrolling capture (formerly panoramic capture) is a screenshot that allows you to scroll to capture content that may not be visible on your screen. You can scroll vertically to capture things like web pages or documents or horizontally for spreadsheets and large graphics.
There are many ways to take screenshots on Windows or Mac, but the built-in screen capture tools on both operating systems lack a scrolling screenshot feature. This means they can only capture the visible areas of your screen.
Screenshots on their own are useful, but when you add a little context, they can be downright magical in helping explain ideas and convey information. There are different ways to use the Snagit Editor and bring the magic out in your screenshots and Scrolling Captures.
As well as being the best tool for taking full-page screenshots, Snagit lets you quickly capture your screen, add additional context, and share images, GIFS, and videos to your favorite apps in just a few clicks.
Some users reported that the scrolling capture cuts off the very bottom edge of the screenshot or displays it as a black section in Snagit 10 in Internet Explorer. To solve it, you should follow the actions below:
Aiseesoft Screen Recorder is the awesome screen capture software, which captures anything on both Windows and Mac computer. It captures every area on your computer and records any points you want. Moreover, you can use its Pro version to record video and audio to create a video presentation.
Snagit scrolling capture can capture the long webpage, PDF, Word, and window in the browsers. This page gathers the full guide to capturing the scrolling screen with this tool. However, when Snagit Screen Capture is not working to take screenshots, you can also use the free alternative, Aiseesoft Screen Recorder.

So we recently deployed Snagit to our users per their request. It's been a couple months now and things are going good, until today. I got a request to enable the Scrolling capture. Because this seems like a potential security risk, I'm working with our security team to check it out. But the other issue is our users don't have admin access, so even if we did allow it - we need a way to activate it via script.
So I started by using my admin credentials and activating it on my laptop. I know the accessbilty stuff goes into the TCC.db. So I saw that it added two things into the accesbilty table when I did it manually:
The last command just lists all the access so I can check it was done correctly. The reason I put that there is because the com.techsmith.snagit.capturehelper doesn't appear to work on a fresh machine. When the script is run on a machine with a fresh install of snagit it gets:

The free version of FastStone Capture will capture a scrolling web page. Works best with IE but also works with FF (it scrolls the window very slowly) and kinda works with Chrome (page is OK but it messes up the the scroll bars).
I use the free ScreenGrab add-on for Firefox, which can capture a selection of a page, the visible portion, or the whole page past the scroll area. In addition, it can also copy to clipboard, or save as JPG or PNG. I've been using it for over a year now with no ill effects -- it's great.
Hi Schelling, I have also used Snagit scrolling capture to make images/pdfs of Apple News. However, I now use CleanShot as I find it simpler to use. Also, for people looking into scrolling capture, it is cheaper than Snagit and has more features. Cheers, Daryl
I ended up finding -to-image which isn't exactly what I wanted but for lack of time it did the job. James Bailey's answer is better but I am on a Mac so greenshot is not available and I could not get snagit's scrollable window capture to work.
I use Techsmith Snagit 10 for researching various technical processes and techniques. This requires Snagit's ability to scroll capture entire web pages to be saved as either JPEG's or PDF's.I capture many product specifications and data tables, which I then convert to Excel workbook sheets for using as LOOKUP tables. This works very well, if I use Google or Internet Explorer as my search engine, in conjunction with Snagit 10. However, Snagit 10 will not scroll if I am using Firefox.Is there an add-on for Firefox that will enable Snagit scrolling?I would prefer to continue using Snagit 10, instead of a later version, because I have tried later versions and find that version 10 works the best for me.I prefer not to use Acrobat 11 when scrolling, because of the dated page breaks.I would like to use Firefox as my default search engine, so that I do not receive messages from certain websites informing me that my search engine is no longer supported.As a foot note, I have installed Real.com Realtimes version 18, this works very well with Firefox when I am downloading video clips.
Firefox comes with a feature to take a full page screenshot as part of built-in developer tools.Firefox has a setting in the web developer toolbox settings to add a button to the toolbar of the Web Developer toolbox to take a full page screenshot.
The (default) file name is "Screen Shot yyyy-mm-dd at HH.MM.SS.png" and the file is saved to the Downloads folder (TmpD).You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and have access to the developer tools including the cogwheel icon to access the toolbox settings and find the "Take a fullpage screenshot" (camera) button once you have enabled this button.
Background: I'm working on a compliance training module and before completing the course I want to learner to view the actual policy, which is a multi-page pdf document. I came across how to embed a scrolling pdf document into Storyline, but it required downloading something that I don't think my IT dept. will allow, and seemed pretty complicated. Any ideas?
Hi Holly, you can't force a person to view a resource so Seth's suggestion is a good way to place the content of the resource document directly on a storyline slide. This still will not resolve the issue of getting people to read it and you may run into performance issues if the scrolling image is too large. You might want to reconsider how you are presenting this information so that whatever they need to know is incorporated into the body of the course and is desgned in a way that they might actually want to review it.
And thanks for your feedback too, Nancy. All the needed information is in the course. The client just wants the actual policy as part of the training. I could just leave it as optional in the resources tab. But I have a "library" the learner can visit. When they click on any of the books in the library, that part of the course comes up and it has a sort of book theme. I was hoping to make the policy one of the "books" in the library. Just wanted to try something a little different than the resource tab, if possible.
When I insert the jpeg or png, the image is very tiny (all 14 or so pages fit on the screen). When I enlarge it, the text is blurry. I even opened the image in Photoshop and made sure the image size is 8.5 inches wide, but it still inserts into Storyline as very tiny.
I'm glad you were able to fix it. I'd thought of that too but, when you said 16 pages it would become unwieldy. Nancy is absolutely right in her argument; however, IDs are sometimes forced to do silly things.
First of all if you are still using Snagit version 7 or 8 you should think about upgrading. Lots of the little nagging issues in previous versions of Snagit have been resolved in Snagit 9. I think Snagit 9 upgrade is well worth it
Here a status about auto-scrolling feature with Firefox and IE8 (under Windows XP). In case of issue in your own environment, you should check for something conflicting (other add-ons?), missing or inappropriate (wrong setting?) somewhere. You may need to refer to former comments for details.
