How to print in BW

Post by ciroettorre »

In which way can I print in BW ?
Let's say I have a color PDF and I want to print it in true B/W ( NOT Grayscale )
How can I do it by using the API ?

Thanks,
Ciro Ettorre

Hello,

You can use simple DLL to render PDF page to 1 bit image and then print this image.
Can you tell us, why do you need such functionality?

It is from one of our customer and it is quite urgent for them
They have color or grayscale PDFs but their need is to deliver B/W printouts across the plant

BTW, the use of the simple DLL is not acceptable because we want also all the other printing parameters to be honored

Then no, we don't have any API that allows to print in BW mode.
