Snapshot tool is problematic

The Take a snapshot tool in Acrobat is terribly awkward to use and frequently glitches. 

Usage: Right-click, Take a Snapshot, Right-click again, Select All, Right-click again, Copy selected graphic...then it usually doesn’t work unless you repeatedly left-click the screen until it flashes.

Issues: Other than that being incredibly cumbersome, Acrobat also sometimes glitches to produce blank snapshots, unless you restart Acrobat altogether.

    @Robert22786801luwl have you thought of just doing a simple screenshot, on a MAC, Command Shift 4 and target the area you want. For a PC, Windows Shift S and target the area you want (or if you want the full screen, just Print Screen — the PrtScn key to copy the entire screen to the clipboard). 

    Sometimes the tried and true just works.
