RE: PDF, Color to BW

["Brierley, Sean" <Sean -dot- Brierley -at- ipc -dot- com>]

Hi,

I'm curious, why?  I mean, if the printer is monochrome, the colors will
be tints of black. If you convert to greyscale PDF, the colors will be
tints of black.

I'd try rePDFing the PDF. Perhaps use a greyscale PostScript printer to
print the PostScript (HP 4Si or something), or perhaps you can change
the printer properties for the Adobe PDF printer instance to black and
white (try the setting in Printing Preferences).

Cheers,

Sean

Hi, guys...is there a way to convert a color PDF to a BW PDF without
having access to the source...only the PDF, and still save all links,
bookmarks, and everything else, just change it from color to BW.

Thanks
