My option is : Install *PDFcreator*.or any other which allows similiar or more twaeks. The options panel can be accesed as follows:(I am not sure if there is a GUI available associated with the make PDF button* or option in document context menu*.)
"PRINT" the document, select PDFC or PDFCreator as the printer. Click the printer PROPERTIES tab, and toggle to B&W mode.Done. remember to revert back to color mode, else we are *done* the next time :) [image: 2010-04-07-PDF2BW.JPG]! PDF Creator works in background when *commanded* in terminal. *Additional* *junk*: PDFCreator is recommended for professionals as well. Is a one-time investment serving simple to advanced use.Some of the PDFconvrtrs in the arena doesnt allow us to twaek image quality, variable compression of images embedded in the document etc. U said you want to make legible B&W copies?? its rather laborious sir! We have to load the document in a senior image editor like GIMP. either use Channel wise convertion to B&W, or use a plugin which simulates ORTHO-chromatic or PAN-chromatic processing of color into B&W. Remember some old Merlin Monroe posters having pale white lips but others of the same magnet having dark black ones? its jsut not lipstick :) .Differs based on color transformation schema: RED> BLACK or not.
