#  `recolor_vectors`

Make non-image page content gray
## Usage
> pdftl `<input>` `recolor_vectors` `[<pages>...]` `output` `<output>`

## Details
The `recolor_vectors` operation converts color-setting instructions within PDF
content streams. Currently it only supports grayscale conversion. The UI is expected to change.

Note: This modifies vector path geometry, text coloring operators, and layout boundaries.
Raster image payloads (XObjects) are skipped by this operation.
## Examples

> Convert non-image elements on pages 1-3 to grayscale
```
pdftl in.pdf recolor_vectors 1-3 output out.pdf
```

> Convert non-image elements on all pages to grayscale
```
pdftl in.pdf recolor_vectors output out.pdf
```
