Hi Ron,
I have been able to get Navigraph Charts in as follows (but you have to have a good, high resolution monitor, the larger the screen the better).
Open up NDAC, and drag the interface so it has as large a screen area as will fit on your screen.
Select the chart of your choice.
Press the PrtSc (Print Screen) button to copy the screen to clipboard.
In Paint or your favourite graphics editing program select Paste.
Select only the chart area (in newer versions of Paint select the area, press Crop)
Save the file as a .jpg or .bmp into the relevant EFB directory (I find .bmp to be clearer)
For your own personal use as a Navigraph subscriber, I do not think Navigraph would have a problem with this. But one certainly would not want to share these screen copies with anyone else, as that would be violating their terms.
I have found that the resulting images have more than enough resolution to be very clear in the EFB, and one can zoom in a few times as well. EG on my 21" I can get around 500 X 800 pixel resolution, quite adequate.
Attached an example zoomed into YMML ARBEY 1 STAR
