    Snipping tool on Windows 10 or a screenshot. Windows key & printscreen will save a screenshot into the screenshot folder in pictures.

    usually you can select a picture and then save it or copy and paste into MS Paint and then save as a jpeg.
    If all else fails just zoom in and use Snip and Sketch or Snipping tool.

    As long as the file contents are visible on screen, just press the printscreen button on the keyboard to capture the screen contents and paste the captured screenshot into the image program (eg MS paint).

    MS Paint won't open a PDF file.
