Converting colour PDFs to B+W

worse

Yeah, that is gruesome. I'd try to get a PDF print driver and print the PDF to a black and white PDF.Or you can press ctrl-K in the PDF and juggle with the accessibility options to change the colors.

Ah ctrl-K, thanks, just been on hammonmfg.com, they wonderfully show the layout of the PCB for each product. Most senesible.

Didn't see that "foxit" caveat the first time. ctrl-K works nice in Acrobat. I tested it and I can turn the green atrocities into black. Hopefully Foxit has the same accessibility options. Anyways, just print it to a b/w laser and it'll be black/white, no?

I don't own a printer anymore, I rarely print anything. If needed I dump stuff onto a memory stick and get the local internet shop to print it.

Also it get's me out of the house :)

Most laser printer drivers change colors to gray (lots of separated dots) not black (solid). Nice for a photograph, but horrible for colored text.

If you can wait till September, I recently read that OpenOffice.org v3 will import and edit PDFs. (Gratis and libre.)

...so as long as things are *different*, they don't have to be

Thanks, the ctrl K worked in foxit, but in the end I went over to a pactec box. PPLX, looks ok

Thats good news for OO isn't it, hope they take some of the bloat out of it at the same time

They are almost certainly imported from Autocad or something similar.

if you zoom to about 800% it is readable.
