Do you?  I don't see it.  A question would usually be followed by 
a question mark '?'.  The question marks denotes a question.  It
also helps the reader to quickly identify the question in usenet posts.
I encourage the use of one (approrpriately applied) question mark in
each post.

Why PBM?  I had to google to find that was some sort
of monochrome (ick) image format.

Why not save as PNG?

Here are two methods from the WebStartFrame I am developing.
They might get you started..

  public static BufferedImage getScreenShot(
    Component component) {

    BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(
      component.getWidth(),
      component.getHeight(),
      BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB
      );
    // call the Component's paint method, using
    // the Graphics object of the image.
    component.paint( image.getGraphics() );
    return image;
  }



  public void saveScreenShot(BufferedImage image) {
    getLogger().log(Level.FINEST, "Default saveScreenShot");
    try {
      ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      // write the image as a PNG
      ImageIO.write(
        image,
        "png",
        baos);
      byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
      ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);

      saveFileDialog(null, null, bais, null);
    } catch(Exception e) {
      handleError(e);
    }
  }
