How do I change a color document to a grayscale document?

I have a full color document which needs to be converted to grayscale. I do not have access to the original files from which the pdf was created. Is there a way to make this conversion in Acrobat Pro, without using another program?

Open the Preflight Tool (Shift-Ctrl-X). Under "PDF fixups" you will find "Convert to grayscale".

Can one change a color pdf to a grayscale document in OS 10.9?

I have a pdf color document, that I'd like to distribute as a grayscale document.
I can't seem to find how to do this in OS 10.9 with Preview 7.
Can anyone help?

This solved it for me
If you hold down the Option key while selecting the File menu, Duplicate will change to Save As…
Then you can use the quartz filter to grayscale again.

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

How do I change the color of all the text in a PDF?

Hi.
I have a large PDF, over 1000 pages. Some of the text is highlighted which makes it difficult to see on my preferred document background. In Acrobat XI how do I change the color of all the text in the document back to black please? Although solutions using any other software will be much appreciated too.
I searched this forum already, and the same question was asked back in 2007 when it appears the only solution was to use an expensive third party plugin.
Thanks.

I know of no new solutions since 2007 except the ones you found.
You could use the Accessibility Preferences > Change Document Colors to choose a text color. However, this is an individual preference and cannot be set as a default for others opening the document.

How do I change the color of a JSCrollBar

Hi all,
How do I change the color of a JScrollBar. I was able to change the color of the background, but not the scrollbar itself.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
R.

Hi,
Thanks for all your help. I actually found the sun bug report about this problem. The fix is to create a class for the JScrollBar extending JComponent and then override the setUI method.
Here is the code for anyone who needs it:
/* class custom JScrollBar **/
class myScrollBar extends JScrollBar
public myScrollBar(int orientation){
super(orientation);
public void setUI(BasicScrollBarUI ui) {
super.setUI(ui);
/* class MyUI**/
class MyUI extends BasicScrollBarUI
Color barColor = new Color(51,172,49);
Color bgColor = new Color(245,245,245);
protected JButton createDecreaseButton(int orientation) {
return new ArrowButton(orientation);
protected JButton createIncreaseButton(int orientation){
return new ArrowButton(orientation);
JButton up_button = (JButton)createIncreaseButton(SwingConstants.NORTH);
JButton down_button = (JButton)createDecreaseButton(SwingConstants.SOUTH);
JButton left_button = (JButton)createDecreaseButton(SwingConstants.WEST);
JButton right_button = (JButton)createIncreaseButton(SwingConstants.EAST);
protected void paintThumb(Graphics g,JComponent c,Rectangle thumbBounds)
g.setColor(barColor);
g.fill3DRect((int)thumbBounds.getX(),(int)thumbBounds.getY(),
(int)thumbBounds.getWidth(),(int)thumbBounds.getHeight(),true);
protected void paintTrack(Graphics g,JComponent c,Rectangle trackBounds)
g.setColor(bgColor);
g.fillRect((int)trackBounds.getX(),(int)trackBounds.getY(),
(int)trackBounds.getWidth(),(int)trackBounds.getHeight());
* ArrowButton is used for the buttons to position the
* document up/down. It differs from BasicArrowButton in that the
* preferred size is always a square.
private class ArrowButton extends BasicArrowButton {
public ArrowButton(int direction) {
super(direction);
public void paint(Graphics g) {
System.out.println("i am inside the button paint");
g.setColor(new Color(51,172,49));
g.fill3DRect(0, 0, this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height, true);
int w = this.getSize().width;
int h = this.getSize().height;
int size = Math.min((h - 4) / 3, (w - 4) / 3);
size = Math.max(size, 2);
g.setColor((new Color(0,0,0,0)).darker());
paintTriangle(g,(w - size) / 2,(h - size) / 2,size+1,this.direction,true);
public void paintTriangle(Graphics g,int x,int y,int size,int direction,boolean isEnabled){
g.setColor((new Color(0,0,0,0)).darker());
super.paintTriangle(g,x,y,size,direction,isEnabled);
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
int size = 16;
if (scrollbar != null) {
switch (scrollbar.getOrientation()) {
case JScrollBar.VERTICAL:
size = scrollbar.getWidth();
break;
case JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL:
size = scrollbar.getHeight();
break;
size = Math.max(size, 5);
return new Dimension(size, size);
in init():
//setting the scrollbars
MyScrollBar vertical = new MyScrollBar(JScrollBar.VERTICAL);
MyScrollBar horizontal = new myScrollBar(JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL);
horizontal.addAdjustmentListener(new ScrollHandler());
vertical.addAdjustmentListener(new ScrollHandler());
vertical.setUI(new MyUI());
horizontal.setUI(new MyUI());
vertical.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(grayColor));
horizontal.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(grayColor));
scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBar(horizontal);
scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBar(vertical);
I hope it helps others.

How do i change the color of the window background?

How do I change the color of the window background? When I create a new document on indesign sometimes the blackground is white, sometimes black or gray and I d'ont know why. Thanks for help.

THis sounds like you are viewing is different modes. "Normal" or layout mode uses a white pasteboard whre you can store objects that you might want to use, but don't want on your pages currently. When you switch to "Preview" mode the pasteboard and any guides and non-printing objects disappear and the background goes gray. In Presentation Mode the backbround is black and the tools and panels will disappear.
Hitting the W key when you don't have the Text tool active will toggle normal and preview modes. Shift + W will take you to Prensetation Mode, and Esc will take you back out.

How can I change the color on the source?

I have a Dreamweaver 8 for Macintosh.
On Code window, how can I change the color on "option value="
from orange to perhaps red? It is hard for me to see the orange
fonts on the source.
Another one, how can I change the font size on the source?
(Not on the design window).

edit -> Preferences -> Category "Code Coloring". Now
select "HTML" from the "Document type" list and click the "edit
coloring scheme" button.
in the next dialog "edit coloring scheme for HTML" you can
either select "HTML form tags" from the "styles for" list or click
within the sample form displayed in the "Preview" below -- just use
the "Text color" color picker to switch the default "orange"
(#FF9900) value to red

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

In working on a simple home budget, how can I change the color of a negative number to red, during the period the number is negative. Thanks,

Using Numbers spreadsheet and In working on a simple home budget, how can I change the color of a number to RED when it comes up negative. (only during the time that it's negative) Thanks, ( I hope I did this right!!)

The Inspector offers choices of format for negative numbers when you choose Number of Currency as the format for a cell. Also offered when the format is set to Automatic, IF the selected cell(s) contain number(s).
The choices are in the pop-up menu beside the box for number of decimal places.

How can I change the color of birthday calendar?

The birthday calendar in the new iPhone OS gets it color automatically. How can I change the color? It does not correspond to the color in iCal on my Mac.

I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.

How do you change the color of events on ICal.

How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
Thanks!

Phoebe,
Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
Then choose the color from this pane:

This doesn't sound like a Firefox issue. I think you'd be better off with a site that offers web design tutorials. Try this one: http://www.w3schools.com/
One thing you should do though and that is to update Firefox via Help | Check For Updates.
There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

How can i change backgroud color of global template in fusion cloud?

Hi all.
someone of you could help me?
How can i change backgroud color of global template in fusion cloud?

Hi.
Making CSS changes like this is currently only possible off-line, using the JDeveloper-like Skin Editor. This is described in our blog post here, a demo on our YouTube channel in this video, or the product documentation here. Coming soon is an online 'theme editor' feature which allows this kind of customization online. I would recommend that you raise a request with the Cloud Operations team to verify if they support the addition of custom skin files, otherwise you are limited to the online branding options currently available.
Kind regards

How can I change the color of a box in book layout?

I am try to change the color of a photo box when making a book.
Will the box print? and if so how can I change the color
Thank you
Mark

The box will print... but there is no way to just assign a color to a box. The closest you can get is ot create a small solid colored image in Photoshop and assign that to the box. You may get a resolution warning but as long as it's a solid color it does not matter how few pixels you have.

How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition

Hi,
I am using labview 5.1 in my graduation's project final. (sorry by my english, but i am ina hurry)
How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition?
I am developing a VI to control the temperature of termistors,but i have another sensor too.
In a graph i have the situation of the termistors,but i want to change the color of the graph when the sensor is active.
Thanks a lot
Rafael Wajnsztajn - Brasil

To change the color of the line itself, you can use the attribute Plot>>Plot Color.
To change the color of the points, you can use the attribute Cursor>>Cursor Color.
To select the color, you should have a color box constant inside the Numeric>>Additional Numeric Constants palette.
This is all in LV 7.0. I'm not sure how it similar it is in 5.1.
One important thing is to place the attribute node inside a case structure which will execute only when your condition has been filled.
If this didn't help you, I suggest you post the relevant piece of code, or at least an image of it (no BMPs, please).
Try to take over the world!
