Can someone please tell me how to convert a CMYK PDF file to grayscale.

I am using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP.

In Tools, make sure the Print Production tools are showing (panel menu). Choose Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors. In the Conversion Attributes section, choose Conversion Profile and pick a grayscale profile (for example, one of the Dot Gain or Gray Gamma profiles). Click OK.

    You can also use one of the preflight tools to convert to B&W. They generally convert to grayscale.
