Convert placed black line drawing to Pantone

[scotwb]

I have a black line drawing, transparent background PDF which is placed (Mac, InDesign CS3).

I want to keep the background transparent, but change the black line drawing to a Pantone color.

I can't figure out how to do that. I understand Quark has the ability to not only effect the fill and stroke of the image box, but also the object inside. I see with InDesign that I can effect the object with drop shadow and other effects, but I don't see how I can select the lines (not the space inbetween) and change to a Pantone color.

Ideas would be MOST appreciated.

...is your black image a greyscale or 1bit bitmap image?

...with the white arrow you can select the actual image and color it using the swatches palette...

...it needs to be a transparent tif image though or a 1bit bitmap image...

...the alternative is to make it a monotone image in photoshop, save to psd...

Slick. Just did that with monotone in Photoshop, did't realize save to PSD would make a difference. Will try the other method to see which turns out better.

Big relief.

Thanks,
