So many products on TPT have two options: a color version, and a black and white version. But how do you make that color version turn to black and white with ease? Well it’s time to learn how… and it’s time for another installment of Technology Tuesday!
I separated this tutorial into three parts:
- In light blue, you’ll find the directions for how to turn individual clipart images to black and white.
- In bright blue, you’ll find how to convert an entire PDF file to black and white on a PC.
- And, in purple, you’ll find how to convert an entire PDF file to black and white on a Mac.



Now… for the second part of the tutorial: how to make an entire PDF black and white on a PC!



Here is the third part…how to make an entire PDF black and white on a Mac!

Enjoy!
Whenever I think of tech tips, I think of you and your blog, so I am hoping that you can help me out with this. The last two times I have tried to upload a product to TpT it's telling me I have to upload a supported file, and it lists examples. I am trying to upload a pdf file, and I've always uploaded pdfs, so I don't know why all of a sudden I'm having trouble??? Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong or need to do differently?? Thanks so much!
It was doing this to me recently with an Excel file as well! I would contact TPT about it, their customer service is fantastic and I'm sure they'll be able to take care of it. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
Once again…THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 🙂
