Feature Request: Print Colour as Black

Post by grovel »

Hi,

While I would not want you to exactly duplicate Acrobat Pro, it does have the nifty option to print colour as black - I use it everytime I print documents with annotations - grey is just so unreadable.
Some journals, too, intentionally use dark grey text to make printouts less nice - and I always move to the only machine in the office with acrobat pro to print such documents. Of course it screws up anything where grayscale is really important, i.e. gray or color background with black text, or images, but it all the same is often a handy feature.

Just a suggestion, thanks for the great work.

Cheers, grovel

Hi Grovel,

I will make a FR for this, but as you said yourself, it's quite situational and in most cases you do need greyscale instead, so it's up to the dev team to decide whether to include it.

Best,
Stefan
