Save PDF as black/white

[RyanTheramed]

Hello friends,

I am getting one page published in a black and white add for a magazine
At the moment my file is full colour cmyk.

I was wondering where the output setting to save as black and white is?
Or how to do it.

Ryan >> Your question was a bit too general, which is probably why you haven't had any replies. I will make some assumptions and maybe I can help you.

Assuming your PDF was created in Illustrator and saved to be editable in Illustrator, open it in Illlustrator. Select all. Assuming you have CS3, go to Menu>Edit>Colors>Convert to Grayscale. If you have an earlier version of Illustrator; Menu>Filter>Colors>Convert to Grayscale.

When you save as PDF, always keep an AI version of your file. If your PDF file was saved as a PDF without "editable in Illustrator" clicked, and you can't get your hands on the original AI file, I think you might have to do it over.

Good luck! :rolleyes:
