pdf in monochrome

[Yashasvi23481]

Hi All,

   I am using Autocad Mech 2024. I have multiple sheets i want the pdf choosing selected layouts from AutoCAD sheets put eh print is in monochrome only for first page but rest of them are coloured. How do i choose all pages to be monochrome. I have seen videos showing export pdf and publish command. At the moment, i am doing single page pdf using my set up named monochrome. Also, i dont get that option of Apply to layout. next to OK. 

See attached pics for my current settings. Not sure whats the missing link? which option to choose and untick to get monochrome on all sheets. Please help. 

This is bit urgent as i have multiple sheets. I dont want to merge the sheets as i dont have that access in adobe. 

Regards,

Yash

Do you need to turn off background publishing first?

How are you selecting that pagesetup in PUBLISH command's pop-up?
Do you need to correctly set the PAGESETUP you need for all the sheets in the PUBLISH set first, instead of just for the one?

This only works if all of your "colors" are AutoCAD ACI colors, it does not work with RGB or "truecolors", are you sure that's not the issue?

That's not an option in PAGESETUP command

it is in PLOT command.
