    Is it possible to convert specific pages to greyscale within a PDF?

      We got a print job from our customer on PDF. Probably created in Word. It's about 3/4 color and the rest black and white. Problem is, Word creates "rich black" which triggers a color impression on our color copier. If it were done in InDesign and done correctly, it would just be K and the copier would recognize that and give us a black click only. Obviously, color clicks cost a lot more than black clicks so I want to be able to specify say pages 50-53, 58-59, 66-78  etc and convert just those pages to actual greyscale so that the machine will recognize as greyscale and give us a black click. Is that possible?
