save a powerpoint presentation as a pdf in pure black and white
Is it possible to save a powerpoint presentation as a pdf in pure
black and white, using the built in pdf writer in Office 2007? I dont have adobe acrobat. but i have tried it on a pc that does, and i notice that even then only the text is black and white but the graphics are colour. But my main question refers to the pdf writer in Office 2007. thanks very much Mick |

save a powerpoint presentation as a pdf in pure black and white
Hi Mick
As far as I can see there is nowhere in the options of the MS add-in to select pure black & white printing. You can print a black & white XPS using the add-in but then you've got to convert that to a pdf.... Hopefully someone else will have some better news for you. Lucy PS I know you wanted to know about the Office 07 add-in, but you may want to read this: How can I make B/W PDFs? http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00483.htm -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au "micko" wrote in message ...

micko,
If you cannot find an automatic way to do this will all the PDF makers out there. Then you could try the technique of applying a black and white 'color scheme' to the presentation (obviously save it under a new filename beforehand), then make the PDF Cheers TAJ Simmons Microsoft Powerpoint MVP http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com awesome - powerpoint templates, powerpoint backgrounds, free samples, ppt tutorials...

save a powerpoint presentation as a pdf in pure black and white
thanks everyone. my first post to a usenet gp and didnt know what
response to expect. Ill tell them (lecturers at uni of adelaide) they'll need to use a third party PDF maker. Having said that, for some PPT files the Adobe PDF writer, and the XPS writer (thanks Lucy), only convert the text and background to black and white. They leave the images in the original uni template in colour. Contrast this with the B&W 'view' in PPT which makes everything, including all images, B&W. This view doesnt stick when you pdf it of course. Do you know why some images would print to PDF in B&W, and others would stay colour? I dont know the difference between images that do and those that dont since I cant seem to see a way to get any more info about the images. If I go into slide master and right click on them theres no 'properties' to look at. cheers, Mick |

Hi Mick
I'm in Adelaide too - beautiful day today and nearly beer o'clock :-) Do you want to send me the template to look at? I ask as I tested pictures with the XPS printer before I posted and it was working fine here. lucy @ aneasiertomorrow . com . au - leave out the spaces.
