Plotting is based on a plot style, what are your plot style settings for each applicable color?

a drawing contain colored images...
even if ctb monocrhome ...the image still in color when making PDF with DWGtoPDF.pc3 file..

so in some tools,..like PDFcreator or PDF995,...it is possible to convert colored image in greyscale..
but DWGtoPDF.pc3 do not seem to allow that.

I tried to find an answer to this a while back. No matter what I tried, it did not work. I ended up scanning the hard copy to PDF.

DWF to PDF.pc3 is the plotter file, colors are determined by the plot style .ctb. Choose a color from your drawing and cross reference it with your plot style.

If the OP is in regards to attached images which have color, then yes they will plot in color. AutoCAD does not have photo editing capabilities, nor do I forsee them incorporating it.  The only real solution is to edit the photos prior to attachment.

I believe what OP wants is a driver based method of printing in grayscale, like you can do in the DWF driver.
