Convert PDF to Grayscale (B&W)
Strip all color from your PDF document. Convert heavily colored presentations into grayscale files to save massive amounts of expensive printer ink.

This tool intercepts the PDF, mathematically converts all vector shapes, text, and embedded images to grayscale, and outputs an ink-saving masterpiece.
