Convert .pdf file from color to grayscale with 1 command.

Hi there.

Convert .pdf file from color to grayscale with 1 command:

gs
-sOutputFile=./output.pdf
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sColorConversionStrategy=Gray
-dProcessColorModel=/DeviceGray
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4
-dNOPAUSE
-dBATCH
./input.pdf

And You’re all done. Change the input.pdf and output.pdf to your needs.

Cheers.

Andrzej
