In a document like this I have underlined and strike through text. Originally, the document was created by Microsoft word. Currently this text is also colored - either blue or some yellow, depending on how I call Libreoffice.
When printed to a PDF, the blue color remains.
How can I change the document such that the color is removed? Not only for one printing, but generally in the document such that this document can be printed without colors by anyone.
Help suggested to select "Print black", but I cannot find this. (I am using 3.5.7.2 - which is the latest on 12.04.5 LTS)
Go to Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> Changes and set all colors to black.
Well, in your document, the underlined text and the strike through text are both Reviews of the document. So, if you want to see them as a normal text you must either accept or reject them (for example, if you accept every strike through text will be removed and every underlined text will be added).
At the moment, there is no way to completely remove colour from your document in LibreOffice. That is to say, there is no way that whatever you add into the document, it will always show up in black. You do have a couple options, however:
1. Change all text color to black.
Begin by selecting all the text in the document. (Ctrl + a) On your toolbar, you should have an icon that looks something like this:
Click on it, and it gives you a drop down that looks something like this:
Select the black colour. This will turn all the text in your document black, however, as I said above, it will not prevent new text from having another colour: you will have to repeat the process every time you add something with another colour.
2. Eliminate colour when exporting to pdf.
Go to your menus:
Tools>Options. In the window that pops up, go toLibreOffice Writer/Web>Print. You should see something like this:Check the
Print text in Blackbox, and you're done. Now when you export as PDF, it should export it all in black.Hope it helps!
