RE: PDF, Color to BW

["Westfall, Portia L UTCFS" <portia -at- lenel -dot- com>]

Hello John,
I'm not sure which version of Acrobat you are using, but the following
has worked for me in Acrobat 8 Professional:
1. Go to Advanced > Print Production > Convert Colors. (Back in Acrobat
7 I think that option was located in the Tools menu instead.)
2. For Action select "Convert", for Profile select a grayscale profile
such as Gray Gamma 2.2.

Regards,
Portia Westfall

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
