Re: Batch removal of colored text in PDF

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Carol,

Nothing you can do in FrameMaker will fix this problem for you.
Shlomo's TimeSavers is a wonderful collection of tools, but it
doesn't include tools to fixup imported PDF.

What will do the job very efficiently and economically is an
Acrobat plug-in, "Quite A Box of Tricks" from Quite Software.
It has a feature to convert all text to black either on a single
page or for the entire document. See <http://www.quite.com/> for
further information. You can download and purchase this on-line.
(Note that I have personally used this product as well as the
other Quite plug-ins and most strongly vouch for their quality
and effectiveness!)

        - Dov

PS: See you in Palm Beach.

The paragraph numbers are formatted to use different colors depending on what level they are. Cross-references are also colored. I need all text in the PDF to be black so that it prints correctly in hardcopy.

If Time Savers is the solution, it must wait until after the Framers conference, because I'm getting my copy there.
