CS4: Convert to Grayscale grayed out

[T***@adobeforums.com]

Trying to convert an Illust. CS4 document to grayscale using the manuals steps: Choose Edit > Edit Colors > Convert To Grayscale. However, all those options under Edit > Edit Colors > are grayed out (ironically ;^). I assume I have to convert something first, but what? Thanks!

Convert to Grayscale grayed out




Oh, man... That's right up there with the timeless NY Post headline, "Headless Body in Topless Bar."

I'm sorry, I can't comment further. I'm at AI 12 (CS2), which does not have that feature.

No idea, but in another post a few days/weeks ago someone was suggesting to simply do this via Acrobat's pre-press tools.

had the same problem, make sure it's not a linked file ie. check in
layers if it is, and if so hit embed
