If you have used a Mac, you would know that capturing screenshots is easy in Mac OS X. But not all will be happy with the PNG format that is default. You can now change this default screenshot easily with a terminal application.
The common disclaimer with this is that you have to be cautious with the Terminal mainly if you are not too familiar with it. Type the commands as they are and keep in mind that the most of them are case sensitive.
Open Terminal from Utilities folder in Applications folder and then type the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type pdf
The pdf in this command can be replaced with other formats like gif, tiff or ipg as per your wish. To make this change effective either log out and then log in or type the following command in the Terminal and then press Enter:
killall SystemUIServer
Copy and paste these commands in the Terminal to avoid creating any mistake.
