    Default Printing pdf as black when saved as 2 color

    Is there a way to print a pdf that has been given to me as a 2 color to a single color. When I print as a composite the blue (2nd Color) is screened. I want the solid blue to print as a solid black to go to film for press. Acrobat is kind of new to me and I think the person who created it is even less knowledgeable. (Printing from Acrobat 6 Professional)

    In the print dialog there is a checkbox "Print color as black". Does that work for you?

    There is no such animal. I've looked high and low and I sure don't see a checkbox called "Print color in Black". Where in the print dialog box? Before posting this message I looked for something similar but was unable to locate. Am I blind,stupid or what? I'm running OSX 10.2.8 and Acrobat 6 Professional with all the updates.

    Sorry Bob. My bad. That checkbox is only in the Windows version.
