Never tried but screenshots are normally PNG or jpg, but maybe there's a way of making them PDFs by default.

Please will you experiment a little to determine if that happens on YOUR
computer?

I first noticed this when using 'Messages' with a real-life friend.

Take a screenshot of any page on your screen which shows one or more
links, then paste it in to a Message. Send it to yourself and then check
to see if the link is STILL live in the received Message.

Thanks.

Automatic recognition of text in the image by the receiving iDevice.

Here's a link to the developer docs overview - I can't quickly find a
"customer friendly" equivalent:

Thank you so much, Bruce.

I don't profess to fully understand this, to me it's like magic, but I
knew there must be an explanation for such a phenomenon.
