HOW TO CONVERT PDF FILES TO GRAYSCALE

Convert PDF files to black and white or grayscale PDF. Save ink or disk space by converting to grayscale.

Grayscale is the process of changing the colors and shades of your photo and reproducing it into gray images. Converting your document means turning its text and images into black and white. 

Reasons to convert your colored PDF document into Grayscale:

1. Save on printer ink: Colored images use up a lot of colored inks, but with grayscale, it only uses black ink. 

2. Reduces the PDF document’s file size: PDF document containing a lot of colored images affects the file size. Converting PDF files to Grayscale would reduce it.
