Create an action

To streamline your work using Action Wizard, please follow the steps below to create an action:

1. Choose Action Wizard in the File tab, and click Action > Create. The Create New Action dialog box appears.
2. By default, the current open file will be the file processed by the action. You can add more files or folders to be processed by clicking Add Files, Add Folder, or Add Open Files. You can also re-order the files/folders you selected, and the action will be run in that order. 
3. Then choose the commands needed for the tasks from the left column and add them to the right column. You can reorder the tasks by clicking Move Up/Down or delete a task by clicking Remove. The tasks will be executed in the order you set. 
4. For some tasks (such as header and footer, and watermark), you can predefine options by clicking Specify Settings. If you check Prompt User you’ll be prompted to select options or specify settings when running the action.

5. More settings:

   (1) Rename the panel by double-clicking the Untitled label. Click Add Panel to add more panels to group tasks. 

   (2) Choose a task and click Add Instruction to add an instruction below it.

   (3) Add a divider line below the selected task by clicking Add Divider.

   (4) Click Move Up/Down to move the selected task/instruction/divider line/panel, or click Remove to delete them.

6. Click Save.
7. Name the action and input the description for the action in the dialog box. Then click OK.
