Converting colour PDFs to B+W

I've found some nice boxes, maybe.

I can't read the datasheet because of the colour scheme.
How do I turn a pdf to monochrome ( I'm using foxit)
The datasheet ishttp://www.boxenclosures.com/technical_drawings/60series.pdf

This one is even worsehttp://www.boxenclosures.com/technical_drawings/55series.pdf
Half the dimensions are in metric, the rest are in inches

They must have hired a newly qualified MBA as a consultant

Yeah, that is gruesome. I'd try to get a PDF print driver and print
the PDF to a black and white PDF.Or you can press ctrl-K in the PDF
and juggle with the accessibility options to change the colors.

Ah ctrl-K, thanks, just been on hammonmfg.com, they wonderfully show
the layout of the PCB for each product. Most senesible.

Didn't see that "foxit" caveat the first time. ctrl-K works nice in
Acrobat. I tested it and I can turn the green atrocities into black.
Hopefully Foxit has the same accessibility options.
Anyways, just print it to a b/w laser and it'll be black/white, no?

I don't own a printer anymore, I rarely print anything. If needed I
dump stuff onto a memory stick and get the local internet shop to
print it.

Also it get's me out of the house :)

If you can wait till September, I recently read that
OpenOffice.org v3 will import and edit PDFs.
(Gratis and libre.)

....so as long as things are *different*, they don't have to be
*better*.

Thanks, the ctrl K worked in foxit, but in the end I went over to a
pactec box. PPLX, looks ok

Thats good news for OO isn't it, hope they take some of the bloat out
of it at the same time
