Heya,

I have a color-heavy PDF, and I need to make the file black-and-white... the printing takes 2 minutes a page when it's so color heavy, and in my school lab, thats just too much. Does anyone have a fast way of simply stripping color from it?

Why don't you just print it in black and white?

Best and fastest way is to print it to a Black & White laser or print it as mentioned earlier post as "black & white".

An other way is to run the file it true a some third party Acrobat pluginn program like Pitstop.
