Covert color pdf to grayscale pdf in Acrobat 6.0

I have a number of color pdfs that I would like to convert into grayscale pdfs using Acrobat 6.0. How do I go about doing this? Thanks in advance for your help!!

Acrobat 6 is many version ago. I don't remember Acrobat 6 having that capability. I think people used to use Pitstop to do things like that. I'm sure someone with a better memory than mine will stop by with more information. Have you tried to search the help file?

Cannot export to PDF with grayscale PDF in layout

IDCS5.5, MacPro, OSX 10.7.4
I am working on a grayscale teacher’s guide that accompanies a CMYK schoolbook. The introduction pages contain miniature pages of the workbook (formatted as grayscale PDF), but InDesign refuses to output those pages as PDF ("Impossible d’exporter le fichier PDF"), or when it does produce a PDF (when exporting page by page), Acrobat warns of a possible problem and stuff is missing on the resulting page, not necessarily from the grayscale minipages.
I have tried grayscale PDFs created from the original CMYK PDFs in Acrobat Pro X, grayscale PDFs exported from the original CMYK file in InDesign CS6, PDFs reduced to 20% in InDesign, PDFs reduced to 20% with a third-party application and imported in ID at 100%, and all sort of variations on the export values. The problem is also present in InDesign CS4 (after exporting the file as IDML) and in CS6.
The thing is, there is no problem at all if I use the CMYK PDF version of the minipages (I then turned the resulting PDF into grayscale with Acrobat Pro X). But the printer expects to see only grayscale images in a grayscale job, not color... and a Photoshop version of those minipages is not acceptable.
Has anybody encountered that problem? Can you reproduce it, i.e. can you export to PDF if you use any type of grayscale PDFs in your layout?

FOUND IT! Inspired by Rob solution, I was able to export my InDesign CS5.5 document containing some grayscale PDFs to PDF/X-3:2002 (and PDF/X-1a:2001), with or without the standard, but without converting to destination. For some reason, it does not work with PDF/X-4:2008, nor with any of the other presets.

Convert Color PDF to Grayscale using Preflight in Acrobat 9 Pro

Has anyone posted a step-by-step procedure to convert color PDFs to grayscale? I've unsuccessfully been trying to use the new Preflight dialog to do this. This is the procedure I tried:
1) In the Preflight dialog, Create New Preflight Fixup.
2) Fixup Category: Color Spaces, Spot Colors, Inks. For Type of Fixup: Convert Colors.
3) In the Conversion settings tab, chose All Objects, Using Any Color (except spot colors), plus All Objects, Using Spot colors(s).
4) For Destination, I chose a grayscale destination Dot Gain 25%.
5) After clicking OK, I selected the new profile and clicked on the Fix button, and saved the file.
Nothing happens, and the colors don't change.
If anyone can explain what I'm missing, I would greatly appreciate it.

Refer to Acrobat 9 Help PDF (installed with Acrobat 9 is installed).
Review the discussion for Exporting PDFs in Chapter 5 of this Help PDF.
The PDF is also available on Adobe's site.
http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/acrobat/9/professional/acrobat_pro_9.0_help.pdf
Good to know is that the Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year 2013.
Be well...

How do I make color headings black, but color graphics graphics grayscale in my PDFs?

My documents have blue headings and color graphics. I leave all the colors in my web PDFs, but for press I need black headings and grayscale graphics. The Convert Colors function in Acrobat gives me grayscale on both. To get black headings for press I've been printing a second PDF from FrameMaker with Spot Color as Black/White, then doing Convert Colors in Acrobat to get grayscale graphics. This means I must make two PDFs from FrameMaker: one for web and one for press.
Is there any way in Acrobat 11 to convert my blue headings to black, while converting graphics to grayscale?

>You can produce a grayscale PDF by printing to a Postscript file,
choosing Output > Color > Composite gray, and Distilling the PS file
(assuming you have the full version of Acrobat).
If you have a full version of Acrobat you can do that in one step by choosing AdobePDF as the printer. :)

Adobe Acrobat wipes the Finder label color of edited-saved PDF files

Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1 wipes the Finder label color of PDF files when edited with Acrobat. For instance, if a PDF file has a particular Finder label color, if then it is open and edited or simply modify in any way (for instance, just marking some text with the yellow fluorescent marker) and saved, Acrobat wipes out the Finder label color of such file.
How to send feedback to Adobe about this problem?
Thanks.

Acrobat 9/Vista - Can only covert Office 2007 documents to PDF once before having to stop acrtoray.e

I have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, Office 2007, and Vista Ultimate 64 with UAC off. I can only convert from an Office document (.doc, .xls) to PDF once before getting problems, after which I have to close the acrotray.exe process in Task Manager (or restart Vista) to get it to work again.
After I successfully convert an Office document, on future attempts it says "Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create the PDF file."
If in Word I instead choose to Print to Adobe PDF, it says "Word is preparing to background print the document:" but then hangs and I have to stop the program. An error box then says "Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated."
After ending the acrotray.exe process or restarting the computer it works again, but like before only one time. Opening Acrobat and choosing Repair Acrobat Installation doesn't fix the problem unless I restart, which would fix it anyway.
Is there a permanent solution to this issue?

I Also have the same Problem
          When u try to convert word/XLS/TXT to PDF i get this error and when i kill the acrotray process from taskmanager i am able to generate the PDF.
Can anyone of u please let me know what is the problem about and how to solve it.

How do you convert a PDF to grayscale?

Just switched from Pro 8 to 9. In 8 I would use the convert colors tool to do this but it didnt always work but I delt with it. Im on Pro 9 and the settings for that have all moved around. I never really fully understood how to convert a PDF to grayscale, would just wing it as it was. Now Im totally baffled. Is there any "proper" way to convert to grayscale where I dont have hundreds of options to go through with profiles and other things that are really over my head and needs?

Thanks guys(or gals?) to responding to this.
What I ended up doing is:
Covert entire file to grayscale.
Save As "file name + BW"
Close
Open original file
Replace individual pages from BW version for each page I want to change to BW.
BTW:
The reason I need to do this is to avoid getting color click charges on my printer/copier. The original pdf is created in Microsoft Publisher(Yuck!), then made into a Color PDF. Some pages only need to be printed as B/W, and others as Color. This can be also be done using an advanced controller such a Fiery on the printer/copier, but that would cost an additional $3000, and it would be used just for this functionality. With this route, it will only be just the cost of Acrobat Pro.
Also, I am doing this on Acrobat for the Mac, which seems to have the same issues as the Window version.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?

> How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

Trouble creating grayscale PDF

Hi!
I have a bunch of grayscale PDS-files, dot grain 20%, that I need to make into a grayscale PDF. This has proven more difficult than I expected. I did a PDF from Bridge with "Output"-"preserve embedded color profile" checked, but it seems that didn't do much. The printing place said it reads like a colour PDF.
Then I tried Acrobat Pro, first to make a new PDF file from my images, and then to convert my earlier Bridge-PDF using "Preflight" - "convert colour to grayscale". That made the images low resolution and dark. The file size went down from Bridge's 140 MB to 45 MB.
Finally I gave InDesign a shot, but I lack the skills to do much with it.. If I put some effort into learning InDesign, will I be able to export one single PDF-file, with the original (or close to it) resolution and tone values, and with a grayscale colour profile?

Thanks for the quick response! They are Photoshop files, saved in Photoshop format. I have also saved the images as hi-res JPEGs with colour profile "dot grain 20%" and tried to do a PDF from those in Acrobat, same problem=dark, low-res, pixellated.
I'm using MacOS 10.6.8 for Acrobat XI, Bridge CS5 and Photoshop CS5, and have access to a PC laptop with InDesign CS6 on it.

Export to PDF as grayscale

I am using a trial version of InDesign CS3 on XP Pro and have a need to create a PDF in grayscale. Is there a way to do this using Export? I tried using print to Acrobat Distiller with Composite Gray set and that works fine. Is Distiller the only way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

No, but it is the only way to do it in one step if your content isn't already grayscale. You can use the export output options to specify a color profile, but only CMYK or RGB, no grayscales.
The advantage of exporting rather than distilling is you can keep live transparency and interactive elements, but as I said, no grayscale export. You can, however, convert to grayscale in Acrobat Pro once you've made the PDF.
The downside to this automatic conversion, either in Acrobat or in printing to PDF, is you have absolutely no control over the conversion and consequently no choice in the tonal values and contrast. You'll get better looking documents if you do things the hard way and convert your images separately in Photoshop using any one of a variety of techniques. Why does the PDF need to be grayscale?

Grayscale pdf output possible?

How do you output a grayscale pdf from InDesign?
I know of outputting it from ID and bringing it into Acrobat and Converting to the Gray Gamma profile.
Or printing it from ID using the Composite Gray color setting as a Postscript file and then running it through Distiller.
I am looking for a one-step process to do it from InDesign. Do you know of another way?
Cheers,
Matt

I thought that only applied to CS4 and/or snow leopard thing. I have CS3/OS 10.4.11 and have no problems printing to postscript.
Right, it's a problem in Snow Leopard. It looked to me as if you were answering the question of what method to use in Snow Leopard, and print to PS is problematic. For that matter, the result is the same if you print to PS and distill or do it in one step by printing to PDF if you use the same settings, so unless you use a watched folder for distiller, I can't see any reason to use two steps.

Converting PDF to grayscale

I am using Adobe CS 3, Acrobat 8 Professional, on Mac OS 10.4.11
I am trying to convert a full color PDF document to grayscale. I tried to click Advanced > Print Production > Convert Colors and then Grayscale, but it is not working.
I tried clicking Print and then choosing a PDF option, but it is taking unreasonably long and not finishing.
So how can I convert it to grayscale?

Hi,
I had some trouble with this same issue of converting a color pdf to grayscale. I realized that in my particular pdf, just using the Tools/Print Production/Convert Colors function was not enough. Somehow there were extra spot colors inadvertently added to the file. Here are the steps to follow to make sure this works correctly if you are wanting to convert the entire pdf file to a grayscale image:
(I am using Acrobat 7.0.9 on a Mac OS X, 10.4.11 system)
1.) In your pdf file go to Tools/Print Production/Ink Manager click on the bottom left corner box that says (Convert all spots to process). Click okay.
then
2.) Go back to Tools/Print Production/Convert Colors. Click on (Device Gray: Convert) Action: Convert. Profile: Select your profile of choosing....for me it was 10% Dot Gain way at the bottom). Convert Pages: All. Conversion Options: Don't Embed Profile. Check box that says, Preserve Black Objects. Click okay.
This should resolve any problems with those extra colors that will not convert to grayscale since they are assigned as spot colors.
Hope this helps. Let me know if this works for anyone. just tried it once.
Good luck!

InDesign exported pdf viewed in Adobe Reader & Acrobat + Transparency

Hi.
In InDesign I have a tiff image with a blue color background. This image is on top of a colored rectangle with the same blue. I have matched the color settings so it does infact match & prints out well from InDesign. I also have a couple feathered images in InDesign as well.
I made the destination color under the export pdf Output section match the color working space.
As I said..everything prints well from InDesign.
I make a .pdf & open it in Reader, which also looks fine on screen, but when printed, I get these glowing edges around both the tiff image & feathered images. Is there a way to change the color settings in Reader? Or am I totally missing something else? Transparency spaces??
In Acrobat, only the vector images look a little jagged on screen, but prints fine. Is there a reason for this also?
Thank you.
Jules

Peter, my apologies for not getting back to you sooner than this, I've been away from my Mac since I posted this.
Thank you for your very kind offer to look at the files for me. In between time a friend has been over and apparently altered some settings on my iMac and the problem seems to have been resolved. (I hope!)
Thanks again - I daresay I'll be back with more questions before long...

Preview: Adjust Color greyed out for PDFs

Just scanned a bunch of pages as a PDF and opened it in Preview. The levels were off so I wanted to Adjust Color, but it was greyed out. Am I correct in assuming that this only works with image files, not PDFs?

A PDF file cannot be edited like a document file except using Adobe Acrobat. You can edit the original document, then create a new PDF. This is also true of image files if they have already been made into PDFs.

How to detect color pages in a PDF?

I am using a C++ Acrobat plug-in do read/edit a PDF file.
I need to get the total number of pages in the PDF as well as the page numbers of color pages.
So far I have been able to get the total number of pages using PDDocGetNumPages() without any trouble.
However, I cant seem to find an API that lets me know whether a particular page is color or not. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

But what if there is RGB data that means black or gray (R == G == B), does that mean black or RGB?
There is some sample code in the SDK for iterating over the content in the PDF, and then you can get the colorspace and the color of each object.
But you really need to do some background research on colors & colorspaces to properly achieve this goal.
