Action wizard About Action wizards When you apply one or more routine sets of commands to your files, you can save time and keystrokes by using an action wizard-a defined series of commands with specific settings and in a specific order that you apply in a single step. You can apply an action to a single document, to several documents, or to an entire collection of documents. You can even scan documents and combine several documents into a single PDF before running an action. Acrobat provides some predefined action wizards. You can also create your own actions. You can access and manage the actions by choosing File > Action Wizard. Adobe® Acrobat® X Pro also lets you export and import actions so that you can share actions with others. Note: The actions interface and architecture replace the batch script mode available in the earlier versions of Adobe® Acrobat® X Pro. Most of your Acrobat 9 batch scripts can be imported as actions; some scripts require minor changes. Run an action Acrobat includes several simple predefined actions that you can use to streamline your work. These actions represent common tasks that you routinely perform to prepare files for distribution. You do not have to open any of the PDF files before you begin to run these actions. Note: You can avoid password prompts when you run a sequence on PDFs that require passwords. Automate password entry, or specify a security method for these files in the Action Wizard panel of the Preferences dialog box. If you select Do Not Ask For Password, PDFs that require passwords are not processed. 1 Choose File > Action Wizard > [Action Name]. 2 The Action: [Action Name] dialog box displays a summary of the action. Click Next. Note: Check Don't show again for this Action to suppress this dialog box the next time you run this action. 3 In the Action Wizard: Select Files dialog box, click Add Files to select the files that you want to run an action on. You can add files, folders, email attachments, or open files. After you select the files, click Next. 4 If Acrobat prompts you, provide additional information such as output location and settings.
