Generate Outputs stuck in grayscale

I can't get the batch job generate outputs function to allow me to make a color PDF of the schematic. I have found where I can make the schematic mono, color and grayscale for individual prints, but I don't have the full version of acrobat...so it seems the only way to make a PDF is through the batch job where the schematic is stuck in grayscale.

Here's where I can batch output the schematic, but no color options seem to be available.

The options I get when I "Configure" the schematic print.

This panel affects individual prints, but I don't want a hard copy. I need the batch to follow the color setting I've set here...

Thanks!

Andy

There's no proper way of doing it (it's missing functionality.)

Thank you for the reply! I've used full version of Altium at work for 20 years (back in the Protel days) and it's so hard to use a whittled-down version. I've found most of what I need through other methods, but it's pretty painful. I'll check it out when I get home tonight!

Like wise I used AD professionally, but now that I run a small business, when I get grumpy about using the cut down version I just think about the amount of money that hasn't left my wallet!
