Grayscale conversion is useful for printing, archiving and documents where color is unnecessary. The PDF is rewritten using gray color output.

Will text stay selectable?

In most standard PDFs, text and vector content remain PDF content rather than being intentionally rasterized.

Is grayscale the same as pure black and white?

No. Grayscale keeps shades of gray instead of converting everything to only black or white.

Can this reduce file size?

Sometimes, but file-size reduction is not guaranteed.
