welcome.icon.pdftools Ordering Actions in the Tool Actions Sequence

 


 

The order of actions from the Actions Library in the Tool Actions Sequence is essential for the correct functioning of tools. When the Create Tool and Clone Tool features are used to create/edit tools it is possible to customize the order of actions.

 

Almost all actions require prerequisite and/or postrequisite actions. If these actions are not included then the warning icon will display and the tool will not run. Prerequisites and postrequisites are detailed below:
