Subject:Adobe Distiller converting files to greyscale? From:Brian Lightfoot <blightfo -at- POSITRONFIBER -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 15 Jan 1998 11:40:48 -0500
Hi!
Does anyone know why Adobe Distiller may be converting my documents to
greyscale?
I have a typical document in Word (appearing with color graphics) which
I print to a *.prn file. Then I use Distiller to convert it to a PDF.
When I view the PDF, the document is greyscale.
I know that it's not my PDF reader or anything like this because when I
print straight to a PDF from Word, the PDF appears in color
I have no idea why it's doing this. I have used all three forms of
color conversion from the Job Options item.
