Here is another way to do it, very easy: firstly, open your PDF file which is need to be grayscaled in Adobe Acrobat Pro, then, go to Advanced -> Print Production -> Preflight, on the “Preflight” pop-up window, under “Profiles” tab, click “PDF fixups” menu and chose “Convert to grayscale”, then click “Analyze and fix”, all done, save your black & white version now.
