Firstly thanks to Josh and BlueKI am outputting for a greyscale newspaper ad and was concerned that as Virendra said, it would be made up of CMYK. I am using CS3 and found that if you follow the instructions as explained by Josh and BlueK“Just export normally as a PDF and then in Acrobat Pro go to Advanced?Print Production? Convert Colors. Within that dialog you can select the document colors you?d like to convert (CMYK, RGB, etc?) and change the action underneath to CONVERT. Then under Destination Space, select a profile (such as Gray Gamma 2.2)”And under Conversion Options select embed Profile as OutputIntentyou will get a perfect greyscale (1 black plate).
Okay, I could make the whole catalog b/w with any of the methods above. Unfortunately, that’s not what the powers-that-be are after. They want to reduce ink costs by cutting back on the color ink, but keep the full color images that really need to be in color (like the cover, and the fabric color samples page).I came here looking for a quick way to convert individual images to b/w, instead of the obvious method of making a new b/w version of each one in Photoshop and re-adding it to the layout.

That would take a very long time.Could you guys point me in the right direction on this (and explain it as you would to a child:)? They only way to convert Indesign files that actually works wiothout using CMYK to generate black is to EXPORT the file as an EPS.
In th options menu select greyscale. Then convert the EPS to PDF using Acrobat Pro.Sure you can export as PDF in Indesign then convert coolour through the print production menu in Abcrobat Pro. IT MAY LOOK GREYSCALE but check the print preview. You’ll notice CMY values along with the K values. You can still make black with the other colours but true black should only have one reading. In order to goto prepress with only one ink the EPS conversion is the only way that I know works 100%.Don’t believe me?
FYI – Your prepress company may not let you know that you are printing black with more colours than necessary.This forum is great! I spent all day figuring this out and I have been designing for over 10 years. Funny how this never came up before. I figure they people at the shop were just converting the file without my knowledge to save time.That being said I give a BIG MASSIVE SHOUT out to Kendall A.

Gosage for the TIP that got me to where I needed it. Looks like an inactive for about a year but I came across this post when I was searching for a solution myself.Sorry WinX folks but on the mac, there is a far more convenient way to get a grayscale file (including pdf, jpeg, tiff, eps, or whatever.). The solution comes from good old Preview.Just open your document in Preview. Hit ‘Save As’.
Under Format type you’ll see Quartz Filter. Select “Gray Tone” from the list and hit Save. You have a grayscale copy of your document.Heck you can even have a pure “Black and White” or even a “Sepia Tone” document just for kicks!!! There are a bunch of other options that might be useful to youHope this helps someone.Cheers,Neo.
I work for a retail company with over 70 stores. About twice a month we put out a 7 page flyer with a unique 8th page made custom for each store (so over 77 unique files plus a few unique covers).We’re switching from Quark to InDesign and there is some resistance among the folks who are accustomed to Quark.
In Quark you can just export a PDF as grayscale. As I’m reading above, I’m seeing additional steps to make a PDF grayscale (such as opening each of our 70 files in Acrobat to make the conversion). Please don’t tell me Quark is better than InDesign at something!I’m heading the intro training for InDesign so I want to make this as seamless as possible. Is there any possible one-step way to make a grayscale PDF from InDesign CS4?
Any additional steps will be multiplied by over 70 for our purposes. Hi folks,Randi, have you checked how black is meant to be printed out? Edit –Preferences – Appearence of Black. If you have a 4 color document andwant it only BW you must set “Printing/Exporting – Output all Blacksas Rich Black” and not “Accurately”. As far as I noticed it onlyaffects color documents that goes as only black. We got the same issuehere and that how we sorted it out.
Hope it works as well for you.Gretchen, you would have an only BW pdf if you print it out instead ofexporting as PDF. We use Avantra as “PPD”, but there are plenty ofother printers out there you may use.
All you need to do is set it toprint as Composite Gray under Output menu in the Print screen.It´s my turn to ask now. Does anyone happen to know a way to apply a“newspaper” color setup in InDesign?
We print several papers out everynight and we receive pdf from our customers, some of them are awfullycolored sometimes in RGB. As we put pages together using InDesign wewant to use a setup for every one.Thank you in advance guys! In Quark, we set up a page using gray images and black type, and then saved the PDF as grayscale.When I looked for a “PDF as Grayscale” option in InDesign I couldn’t find one and was confused. I spoke to our prepress person and she gave me some helpful information. In InDesign, since we’re only using gray art and black type, when we export the PDF – even as “CMYK” – it will only print black because that’s the only ink we’ve used. (I guess I was afraid that saving as CMYK would split my blacks into CMYK amounts, or add some zero amount of CMYK that would complicate things, but that’s not the case.).
I’ve been converting a color pdf (output from indesign at 300 dpi) with Acrobat Pro 6 into grayscale but I noticed the document gets much lighter and the images are much more compressed (ie. Pixellated) than before. Am I doing something wrong?I’ve been trying to give the printer a b/w pdf file but I gave up and gave him a CYMK black and white pdf file.I’m sure he’ll know what to do with it, but in the past printers have complained about having to do the conversion.Any other option?Thank you. When using Advanced?Print Production? Convert Colors, the quality of the color eps files converted to grayscale is not good at all.I you compare your original grayscale pdf with mixed tiff and eps to the one created from the print production menu, you will notice that not only the grayscale eps are darker but the tiff files that were perfect in the first pdf are now also darker and not very good.I think the tip is much better as the eps files are perfectly converted and you have to make only one pdf file. It does not take that much time to set the transparency of the eps files to 99.9% and the advantage is that if you want to print in color in the future, you will not have to change anything.All you have to do is create a script that will convert the transparency to 99.9% for all your eps files. Hello.I also need to export as pdf an Indesign ‘Book’ to the printers, but they must have the Printer output options ‘Colour Composite Grey’ and ‘Text as Black’ selected.

My document is B&W anyway, but based on CMYK.I have to use the Export as PDF function as they also require the fonts to be embedded.It seems that neither the ‘Adobe PDF Presets’ and ‘Export to PDF’ Function do not incorporate the above Printer Output options.It seems like you should be able to do both, and I’m using CS5 as well.Are there any other options to be able to do both in one pdf document at the same time and preferably from a book, and not an open document?Any help would be really appreciated! I have used CS4 to create a large book doc. All pics are greyscale. All type is black only.
Yet still the exported PDF is shown as CMYK. I do wish to keep the overall final file size to a minimum.Although when blown up to max on the screen the type looks 100% black, on the digital proof the typematter is broken down slightly. Looking at the proof under a glass it appears that the black ink weight is about 97%. This has the effect of breaking up the type and making it look grey, particularly where the tiny rows of white dots coincide with the edges of the characters. Will the rich black option in preferences solve this?There doesn’t seem to be a way of checking this visually on screen.
