Roy: How did you do the conversion to grayscale? I've tried several
conversions mentioned on this list. What seems to work best for me is:

Advanced/Print Production/Convert Colors

* Document colors: Device Gray: Map to Process Black (next "Action"
adds the "Map to Process Black")

* Action: Map to Process Black

* Profile: Gray Gamma 1.8

* Blending Profile: DeviceGray

* Convert Pages: All

* Conversion Options: Embed profile as Outputintent (and) Preserve
Black Objects

A test file I used was a page from InDesign magazine. Most of the
page converts to grayscale but the navigation buttons remain outlined
in red. However, when I go to:

Advanced/Print Production/Output Preview

only a black plate shows up. If I change the pdf's output intent
there to CMYK, only the black plate has anything on it and the
navigation buttons disappear, so maybe I shouldn't worry about the
red outline around the navigation buttons.
