About this tool

Applies ITU-R BT.709 luminance grayscale conversion across every page of your PDF document so color graphics and text print cleanly on black-and-white laser printers.

Note: Grayscale conversion renders each page through a pixel luminance filter, which flattens vector text into grayscale page images.
