Hi All,

I think that there is some confusion here; my interest is to 'Print to file' which is essentially the same as saving. For example if I have a Word document, and I choose to print using Bullzip (a good PDF printer) then the outcomes is not a hard copy (e.g: paper) instead I end up with a file saved to my computer.

The specific challenge that I am facing is that I want to save the file in Black & White even when the original is in colour. I have learned, since posting to this forum, that Acrobat Pro supports this feature; however I do not want to pay for the software (which is quite expensive).

Any further suggestions are welcome.

Kind Regards,

Davo

It is a feature of the printer driver, not necessary the application. If your Bullzip does not have this feature - print it to PDF, then open it with Acrobat Reader, and then print it again (Acrobat has a setting to print in BW).
