First off, its been awhile for me on this site...changed jobs and took the summer off. Great to be back! ;)
With that said,
Heres my issue. I am now running ACAD2011.
Problem being, Im trying to plot a 3D solid viewport in paperspace as monochrome. Changed my viewport plot styles all to black, checked monochrome plot style, nothing. all appears black/white until I actually print to PDF. Whats going on here? Any suggestions?

Aight, I got it to freakin print black, but only by entering modelspace though the viewport, then sweep selecting all objects and changing their color to black. should NOT have to do this....C'mon guys!! WTF is wrong?

LOL, c',mon guys!

Thats noob advice! (but thanks for the input;)

I have acrobat 9, full package or whatever. It's not a reader.

I was in plotter config for adobe pdf, custom properties, paper/quality changed to black. (created a temp PC3 file)
Was in the plot style table editor, everythings mapped to black.
Changed all the viewport color maps in layer state manager to black.
NO FRIGGIN black, MAN!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!
