Hello,
What do I need to do to change the color of an architectural plan when in Photoshop? I remember to do this by creating a new layer and moving the plan under this layer with the ALT key. But it doesn't work. I've done it this way before, but I can't remember right now and I don't have anyone to ask.
If you only want to change the color of the existing layer there are several methods. The first I'd start with is to add a Hue & Saturation Adjustment Layer.
There are other methods, of course, such as locking layer transparency and painting over it; using a layer style wit
...I would recommend placing the pdf as a Smart Object to allow for (repeated) scaling without degredation.
Aside from that there seem to be some elements with gray strokes.
If those differences are irrelevant then a Color Overlay with the Blend Mode »Normal« should be fine.

There are other methods, of course, such as locking layer transparency and painting over it; using a layer style with a Color Overlay; painting over it with a blending mode on the brush; adding a fill layer above your artwork and blending it through half a dozen methods to color only the layer below; and, I'm sure, a few methods I'm forgetting at the moment.

Image > Mode > RGB (or CMYK if you prefer, but that cause its own problems and should only be used of one definitely knows the CMYK target space)

Please provide the pdf.
Maybe the Layer Style > Color Overlay might suffice.

I just said that.

Depending on whether the pdf contains only black elements against transparency or also gray/other ones one may have to change the Blend Mode, though.
So I asked for the pdf.

The image is grayscale, please invoke Image > Mode > RGB and try again.

After some effort I did it. Image mode is defined in grey. Thank you for your time. I am grateful.
