Fuzzy images

[Kulbir -dot- Natt -at- lis -dot- co -dot- uk]

Hi all

I'm having trouble with some screen shots appearing fuzzy in PDF. This is 
what I'm doing:
1. Using a screencapture utility to save a dialogue window as a gif.
2. Importing the gif into Framemaker (image placed in an anchored frame) - 
At this point the image appears sharp when viewed on screen and printed.
3. Using distiller to convert into PDF - here things go fuzzy..

I've tried using different formats (JPegs, Bmps...) - no luck.

Somebody suggested I need to use a vector graphics format using 
Ilustrator, exporting gfx to EPS and inserting by reference -- This all 
seems a bit much for a simple screen shot...but I'll have a go at this..in 
the meantime are there any other solutions?

many thanks
