You can take a 'screenshot' of whatever text you have on your screen, one page at a time, and save each page as an image file.
in Windows: (from web search)
Have you ever pressed the PrtScn (print screen) key on your Windows keyboard and wondered why it was there since it never seemed to do anything? Well, it does do something! It copies an image of your screen onto the "clipboard," ready to paste into any graphics program. These steps show you how to use it along with Windows' standard image editor, Microsoft Paint, to save an image of your screen.
Here's How:
Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard. It may be labeled [PrtScn].
Open an image editing program, such as Microsoft Paint.
Go to the Edit menu and choose Paste.
If prompted to enlarge the image, choose Yes.
Optional: Use your image editor's crop tool to crop out unnecessary portions of the screen shot.
Go to the File Menu and choose Save As.
Navigate to the folder where you want to save the image.
Type a file name for the image.
Mac:
Use the utility called Grab (in Utilities folder in Applications folder) to take screenshots (several options of ways to do it) & save them where you want.
Depending on your final output requirements, you may want to choose a suitable format to save in.
