I recently upgraded my computer and installed adobe on it. On my old computer when printing a PDF I used to be able to click the options "print in grayscale and save ink toner" but they are not working. In order to printer in black and white everytime I have to go into properties and change it or have to permantley change my printer settings. Is there a fix to this?

I ended up having to ask our IT consultant for help because I use Adobe in over 50% of the work I do and had to get it working ASAP. He said he used Acroclean and then the Full Standalone installer in order to repair Adobe. Then he had to manually install the Preflight piece of Adobe and I can now print black & white pdfs using that.

Adobe, hire this man to lead your support. This took way longer to find until I stumbled on this comment. Thank you Norman for the easy fix!

My print as image is not checked, but when I check print in greyscale, my HP 6970 still prints Adobe pdfs in color. It does not do this with other programs, only on pdfs.

did you try a solution that I had posted above?
( Under Menu [top left of screen], under Preferences, under Color Management, under Working Spaces, at Greyscale: select "Sgray". And, then when you print, select: print in grayscale. )
