Unless i'm missing an obvious step??
I'm pretty new to indesign but if I place the
full size files they are much too big, resizing causes problems.
What is the ideal ppi resolution for an indesign / Acrobat
[printable] screenshot?
They are too big on the InDesign page because they are the size of
your screen -:)
In InDesign just click the pointer on the object and use the
Transform presets to resize to 50% or so.
Both in InDesign and in Acrobat, the screendumps may look fuzzy at
some zoom levels. It can't be otherwise because the rendering is
static.
The important point is that all your information is still there. Just
use the zoom controls in Acrobat to get a rendering that works
visually. Then the full detail is there.
If you try the same with JPEG or even ZIP, you are unable to read the
contents of the screenshots after distilling.
