Creating menu actions

Menu Manager provides two wizards that guide you through the process of creating a menu action. This topic explains the types of actions you can create with each wizard. The remaining topics in this section explain how to run these wizards to create actions that process a file.

Limitation: The New Complex Action Wizard is currently not supported. The documentation does not include help or examples for complex actions.
