+## Taking screenshots for the manual
+
+The manual PDF looks nice if vector screenshots are used. These can be taken as follows:
+
+- Build `gtk-vector-screenshot.git` (using meson/ninja)
+- Copy `libgtk-vector-screenshot.so` to `/usr/local/lib/gtk-3.0/modules/`
+- Run DCP-o-matic using `run/dcpomatic --screenshot`
+- Start `take-vector-screenshot`, click "Take screenshot" then click on the DCP-o-matic window.
+- Find a PDF in `/tmp/dcpomatic2.pdf`
+- Copy this to `doc/manual/raw-screenshots`
