Question

Convert to PDF - auto save - no questions

Acrobat Pro 2020

Select a number of image files (e.g. .png), the r-click convert to PDF

Right now: after conversion, Acrobat opens and shows each converted file in a separate tab
I need to save the files one after the other 

 

Q: is there a way to have the files converted, no further questions asked.

Meaning: they are saved automatically, Acrobat is not launched (or maybe just temporarily, immediate close thereafter)

 

Thanks.

With the Action Wizard of Acrobat Pro create an action for this.

Thanks. Correct me if I am wrong, I -think- it is not possible to run an action from the context menu(?)
I do not use FineReader, but know it has that option (Convert and OCR) in the context menu.

Here's a tip to solve several issues: When you scan, save the files in the TIF format. When you bring TIF files in for conversion, they will automatically be processed in OCR. If you drag one file onto the Acrobat icon, it will convert and OCR. If you drag two or more, you will be asked if you want them all in the same file or saved as separate files. Answer that, and your work is done. However, this is done in alphabetical order. So if you've scanned a document and it is saved as "document.tif," "document (2).tif," "document (3).tif," the first page scanned will appear at the end of the PDF. You can either manually move it to the front OR add " (1)" to the first document. You're call.
