Anyone got any idea how to convert a colour PDF to a black & white one, are
there any tools out there that would do this job?
One of my clients has been scanning in documents on their big shiny Canon
scanner/printer/copier. Problem is the default format is PDF colour! I
have now changed that to 300x300 greyscale PDF (compact), a much more disk
space friendly format. As you can imagine these are taking-up a fair bit of
space and we have now reached the point where the backup tape is full,
primarily because of the thousands of these ruddy scanned documents.
Now writing something to do a tree walk of the drive and retrieve the path
of each of these is no problem, what is a problem at the moment is finding
something that will take a colour PDF and convert it to a 300x300 greyscale
compact PDF.
Any suggestions?
Irfanview would have been perfect but does not open PDF's (as far as I
know). There is a batch processing option we use to process JPG's.
Just did quick google search and came up with:
http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/shrink-pdf-file.html
Maybe one of those will do it.
