Acrobat Pro: How to Print only the text of a PDF

Question

Hi. I'm in Acrobat Pro on Mac Sonoma. I would like to print up the pages of a document for a client. There are lots of images and photos. I would like to print up the laid out pages WITHOUT the images. The images could just be an outlined rectangle with an X in it (classic layout format from way back in the day) or pretty much whatever.

I'm copy-editing the actual text of the final document and at $29.99 a month, I don't think I should have to export it to Word or something like that. I want the whole document, printed, without using up all the toner in my LaserPrinter. My Adobe Help, Adobe Community, and Google searches have been fruitless; I did find a bunch of (costly) third-party apps from 2013 that would achieve this with an export.

Please help!

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
