Change Colour

I would like to change the colour of a whole file (objects and text) from black to blue for printing purposes.
Is there an easy way to do this without having to convert the original document and recreate the pdf file?
Thanks
Dave

For this kind of job, you're best off going back to the original authoring program and change text and object attributes to the desired values, then convert to PDF.

You can view the PDF document in a Scrollinjg Pages (formerly Continuous Pages) view, click the Select tool, press Crtl/Command + A to select all text and open the Properties dialog box. If the fonts used permit changing text attrributes you can cange the text color. Objects are an entirely dfferent matter and would require you to dynamically change each one in Adobe Illustrator individually.
