Convert autocad to PDF in black and white

May 15, 2008 7:28 AM

I am using CreatePDF service to convert autocad drawing to PDF. Is there anyway to make PDF in black and white, instead of color?

Thanks,

    I don't think so, but if you can find a PDFMaker option for it then you can probably set the same option in the PDF/G configuration file. You might get more authoritative answers in the PDFGenerator forum (but I don't see a forum for LC ES, just 7.x)

    I found there is option "Print color as black" in Print property of Acrobat professional 8. Do you know any liveCycle sevice offers to do the same?

    Georgeshm wrote very sharp solution but forgot to write you can do it with Autocad then convert it..

    If you have Autocad,

     

    Way1: Open the file as Georgeshm told go layout.. right click, layout settings, change pen assigntment (at the top of right) to monochrome or grayscale...

     

    Way2: Faster and easy open the file with Autocad. give "la" (Layer properties command) open the layers..

    Select all click the attached colour box and change all to white. Then save as so don t lose original one..Convert it.. Issue is when you wanna do convert Pdf to Cad.. I couldn t find any safety way to do that. And I gave my Pdf to Autocad  conversion job to company..

     

    I hope you have Autocad and you can use one of method for your file.
