Acrobat XI Pro: how to batch create multiple PDFs of images from context menu

After selecting jpg and/or png files in a folder I would like to have an option to rightclick batch-convert

them to PDF files using the below settings.

converted files to be saved automatically using the same filename in the same folder.

Right now, in case I select e.g. 12 files, Acrobat will open 12 windows, I have to start text recognition and save the files.

I tried(!) to create an action myself and believe it is working, but I can't add it to the context menu have Acrobat run in the background.

Thanks

Sad new, but nonethelss: thanks.

This was/is my very first 'Action' - I just gave it a try.

Not familiar with this stuff though.

Could you tell me the difference between a   ... sequ and this 'self baked thing'.

(Not so long ago I had to remove the 1st page from a lot of PDF's and found

Batch_Remove_First_Page.sequ which did the job perfectly and fast)

Actions are saved in .sequ files. The old name for Action Wizard was Batch Processing.
