Hello, I am having a problem with our documents that have b&w (greyscale) logos that when converted are detected as color pages (using Papercut) when printed. How can I ensure that when I convert b&w logos/images that Acrobat is not embedding them as CMYK images??
 
Thanks

Hi fboyz99,

Can you provide more background on your issue (i.e., what product are you creating PDFs from, operating system, etc.)? Have you tried using pre-flight tools to determine color characteristics of the logo? Have you tried using any of the PreFlight tools (Advanced --> Preflight) in Acrobat Pro. to convert the logos to grayscale?Keep us posted,
Lori

Hello Lori,

Thank you for your response to my question and apologies for not including additional information.

Operating system: Windows XP
Programs: Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.09, MS Word 2003.

Situation: I have a document with a black and white logo inserted (eg. a letter with corporate logo). I use the convert to PDF button within MS Word. There is no preflight options for that button.

I have not used the preflight tools in Acrobat, is there a simple settings to ensure that the conversion to b&w/greyscale is always on??Thanks for your help
