When I convert colored text to PDF using black/white, it converts the
colored text to gray scale. How do I change this to print pure black
and white?

Hi --

There are a couple of things you can do:

* In Acrobat, choose File > Print Setup, and click the Properties to open dialogs or settings for your printer and specify printing in black/white. Where you find the feature depends on your printer.* In Acrobat, choose File > Print and click Print color as black at the bottom left of the dialog box.While you're there -- click Printing Tips to link to an Adobe site that has a lot of printing information and tips.
