Save time and streamline your work using actions. Like a macro command, an action represents a series of commands defined with parameters, in each order of execution and applied in a single operation. These actions correspond to common tasks that you perform regularly on one or more documents by limiting the number of keyboard operations. Learn how to perform actions in your PDF documents, and how to create and customize your own actions. Find out how to export and import actions and commands so you can share them with others.

Want quick access to the most frequently used tools and commands when working with your PDF documents? Learn how to create your own custom set of Acrobat features, modify it, rename it, rearrange it, and share it with your workgroup.
