Black and white pdf prints pink

I found an old black and white family photo online, downloaded and saved it as a pdf. But when I try to print it, it's is no longer black and white, but has a decided pinkish cast. This also happened with one letter from the same site. I have a mac flat panel, running OS 10.4.11, and an HP 5610 all in one printer. Is there any way to get this to print in B&W?
Also, when I tried to email the photo the way I've done previously -- go to print, then to pdf drop down menu and chose Mail PDF, I'm told its not supported. Same answer if I try Preview. I had to start an new email and add photo as an attachment. No biggie, but the way I had been doing it was easier.
Oh, and the last tine I used Adobe, I was alerted to an update, which I did install. Was this my first mistake?

Thanks. But just to be clear, the file as it sits on my desktop, is
black and white. The color, which reminds me of an photo that was
overexposed, only appears upon printing it. In fact, when I attach it
to an email, I again see the black and white photo. No color.
I will though try your suggestion.
Thanks,
Ken

Black and white PDFs printing in changing colours from preview

I am often printing black and white PDFs from preview with my HP PSC 1510 All in one printer and scanner. After updating to OS 10.6, my PDFs have been coming out in colour. They usually start in black, then change in the middle of a line of music or text to purple, red, blue and green. The longer the document, the more different colours I get. This is not occuring when printing black and white documents from NeoOffice, only when printing black and white PDFs from Preview. As this is what most of my printing consists of, this is extremely annoying.
I am high on black ink, as I recently changed catridge and I have also made certain that the printer driver knows this by using the printers and faxes preferance panel and selcting the" levels of material" button to update this, and it seems to understand that I am high on black and low on colour, but still the problem occurs with every PDF i print. (If this button is called something else, but similar, that is because I am using a norwegian system and don't actully know what it is called in the english OSX.)
There is no "print in black and white" button in the printer dialog either, so I can't fool the printer to print in black and white what it perceives as colour in my black and white PDFs either.

Be sure you have applied both the 10.6.2 update and the absolute latest drivers for HP from Apple:

Need help with printing black and white pdf print at higher quality.

We are a machine shop and many of our customers supply their prints for the tooling we need to make in .PDF file formats. The problem is that some of the files are NOT of great quality. They seem very faint. I can view them on my computer no problem and when I zoom in, the quality is good, but whey they print, the dimensions and lines are very faint. I have been pounding my head to come up with a way to improbe the quality in the following characteristics: contrast, line quality, darker dimensions and lines, etc. But I just cannot get anywhere. Is there anyone that could give me some insight into how to do this. If so, he or she would have my undying gratitude (which probably is not worth much, but sounds good!)
The other thing is that some of our customers send their prints in .TIF or .TIFF file formats. Is there any way to convert them to PDF and get good quality? These .TIF and .TIFF files are a little worse than others.
Thanks ahead of time!

How to set default to convert a document to a black and white pdf file?

I have dozens of color Word files that I need to convert to black and white pdf files on a weekly cycle. I figured out that I can do this for individual files by clicking "print", "properties", then choose the "paper/quality" tab, and then click on "black and white". However, I cannot make the "black and white" selection permanent. That is, the next file requires me to go through the same four-step process to convert a Word file to a black and white pdf file. Any suggestions on how to make the "black and white" selection permenant?

Sorry. I forgot to mention that I am using Acrobat Adobe Pro 9.4.2.

Converting a Color Cad file into a Black and White .pdf

My company recently bought me Adobe Acrobat XI-Professional as an upgrade from Adobe Acrobat 9-Standard. As such, one of the tasks assigned to me was to take color CAD drawings (.DWG extension) created in AutoCAD 12 and then convert them into black-and-white .pdf files. I recognize that there is a "Print in grayscale (black and white) option, but I'm finding that all of the text used in the CAD drawing (generally yellow and cyan) is coming out in grey rather than black against white. I need all of the colors to generally be black.
Is there a solution that I'm overlooking?
Thanks in advance!

Hi TTownWriter,
On conversion Yellow, cyan and red etc convert as grey instead of Black.
This is an expected behavior.

How to create black and white pdfs from autocad drawing

I am trying to create a pdf from autocad drawing with searchable text. Using the default acad pdf driver, it will create searchable text for only TT fonts with width set to 1.0. We use the monochrome plot settings so pdfs are all black, even if drawing was in color.
Using 'create pdf' from Acrobat Pro, Acrobat pro will create a pdf from the autocad drawing easily with all text searchable, shape fonts, TT fonts, no matter what the width. Fantastic. However, there is no option that I can see to create the pdf in just black and white. It creates the pdf in drawings original colors. How do I create a black and white pdf using acrobat pro? Thanks.

@gordon15
The only way to change the color of the printouts from your iPhone is through HP's free mobile app "HP ePrint Home&Biz". This is available in the App Store.
Simply download and install the app, choose a file to print from within the app, then press the icon at the bottom right of the screen that is a wrench and printer. This should then give you the option to choose the color output. Make your selection, press "Done", then press "Print."
If you are not seeing this option, you may need to setup ePrint for the printer and then register the app. This registration will also give you more functionality with the app.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

.dwg to black and white .pdf

I'm using X Pro to covert .dwg files. After converting, the .pdf file retains all the pretty color layers. How do I convert the .dwg to a black and white .pdf?

Thanks for reply. I'm not trying to print, I just want to view the .pdf in black and white. I do not have autocad installed (i know nothing about it).

Colored InDesign docs are wrongly being exported as black and white PDFS

Hello Sirs/Madams,
I am a new user to InDesign. I use InDesign CS4.
I have an .indd file that I created (simple, just text, nothing else). I went to Windows -> Swatches and changed the color of the page to dark blue (modifying the RGB). On screen, it looks EXACTLY like I want it.
But the problem is when I select File -> Export to PDF and I select ANY of the pdf profiles, it prints ONLY in black and white. I have messed around with many options, including using the File -> Print option (to Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional BTW) and it *still* creates a black and white pdf!!!
What am I doing wrong? Please can you help me?
All I want is that whatever colors I can see on the screen should be in the PDF, including the document/page area, which I set via the Swatches window. I apologize if its simple enough but please provide a measure of leeway considering I am taking baby steps here...
Thank you in advance.

The paper swatch is for preview on screen only and is intended to allow you to see how your document will print on colored paper. If you want to print a solid background you'll need to draw a frame and fill it with that color.

C6150 - how to make it a black and white only printer

I have the C6150 all-in-one printer - it keeps running out of color cartridges even though I rarely use color printing. I want it to ignore the status of color cartridges even if they are empty. I set my printing option to say "black cartridge only" but it still doesn't allow printing and given an error message that "Replace the following empty ink cartridges to resume printing" - why does it need color cartridges to print in black when I am explicitly specifying it to use "Black cartridge only" in my print option? How do I make this printer a black and white only printer and igonre the status of color cartridges?

I have that happen as well. I have it set to print black only and it is still using color. Haven't a clue why!!!

Laserjet 2605dn - how do I turn it into a black and white only printer?

How do I turn it into a black and white only printer?
I just bought ink replacement for a whopping $563 which is way too much. My ink supplies have run out. I replaced the Balck ink but the printer is stuck in the "replace supplies" error w/ orange light flashing. Is there any way to re-configure the printer to only use as a B/W printer?

Found myself in the same boat. Try this link, worked for me

As for printing in B&W only, I don't think this printer has that capability, at least from what I've read.

Looking for a good black and white laser printer

I am sorry if I am at a wrong place, but I would like to get some recommend for a good black and white laser printer. Maybe some of the user in this group have some good experience
Thanks in advance - Frank

The Brother HL-5340D is an excellent choice. It's much cheaper to operate in the long run than others. I did a cost breakdown between it and an HP printer here.
However the HL-5340D is discontinued. We paid $170 for ours new, and new ones that remain are at a price gouging $530. The current nearest model is the updated HL-5450DN for $185.
