[Patentcenter] converting colors in PDF Xchange editor

[Orvis]

Their support people are incredibly responsive. I suggest emailing their help or posting to their end user forum.

I have never explored the converting colors functionality. I usually address drawings issues by rasterizing the document to black and white.

The difficulty is that the original figures I received from the client were color images, and some of the colors did not convert well to b/w. We dealt with this during the international phase, and the USPTO had no problem re-publishing the application itself, but, surprise, some genius in publications now thinks he knows better than the examiner.
