That would be 100% of LC's bitmap quality. Screen shots aren't vector.
Do what you like, but if it were me I'd spend two minutes seeing if I
can get vector-based PDF output with LC's external.

In this case, there is no need for searchable text .... its a visual birth

Probably worth a few minutes to test LC's PDF generation from the LC
Server engine for Linux (or whatever your target hosting OS is).
Snapshots are bitmaps, without vector information. PDFs can be done
that way, but lose quality in printing, can't be searched, etc.
Using the LC's Print-to-PDF external translates LC's object vectors to
PDF vectors, making as much as possible resolution-independent. This
not only improves printing quality, but also zooming, and usually
results in a much smaller file for shorter download times.
