     Posted: 17 Jun 2010 at 9:11am

I have a report with a monochrome bitmap and some black and white text. When I export the report to pdf and print it the printer registers it as a color print. Our company leases production printers and we pay 10x more for color pages than b/w. So far I have not been able to get any black and white image on a crystal report exported to pdf to print using black toner. I have tried printing directly from crystal and it does use black toner. When I save the pdf in postscript and read through the postscript generated the image is being directed to print using [/deviceCMYK] instead of [/deviceGrey]. Anyone here have any idea as to what's happening? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, Crystal doesn't allow you to control much of the internals when you're exporting to a non-Crystal file format.  This has been a pet peeve of mine for years.  The Crystal to PDF export .dll file probably just defaults to color.  There is not way that I'm aware of to control this.
