Quick Actions - Create PDF - stopped working

Hi All

My Mac is up to date with updates currently running on Ventura 13.2.1.

Previously to this I have successfully used Quick Actions to compress several PDF's into one to enable to send them to clients - as opposed to sending them individually.

Nothing else has changed on the Mac and the apps etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.2

Quick Actions not functioning. I have a new MacBook Pro (coming from Windows) and am running MacOS Ventura 13.1. When right clicking on a PAGES or a DOCX > Quick Actions... Customize comes up instead of showing CreatePDF or some of the other functions commonly available. When I Customize, and select DONE, nothing changes. I have contacted AppleChat and Telephone support without getting the results expected. This seems like the intended feature for the Quick Actions (Context menu in Windows). Looking for any advanced users to help get this to work? For those capable of solving this first issue, the second one is: How do I then combine multiple DOCX files into one .PDF using something similar. These tasks are all too easy in Windows. Thanks!

Preview Making Copy When PDF Is Edited Hello, first time here. I'm having an issue with my 2021, 14" M1 MacBook Pro (Ventura 13.4.1) When I edit a pdf or screenshot, Preview is is automatically making a copy (and placing on desktop) of the document or screenshot. I'm constantly having to rename and send to trash documents, as I edit pdf's a lot for work it's very time consuming and I sometime delete the wrong ones etc. It's very annoying and confusing. My old 2014 MacBook Pro doesn't do this. (Catalina, I stopped updating it a few tears back) I've searched high and low for a solution before coming here, with no results. Anyone out there know how to fix this or having the same issues? Thanks for your time in advance~ Pic for reference:

Hello nailoil,

Is the option for Quick Actions or Create PDF missing? If it's still there, what happens when you try? Combine files into a PDF on Mac - Apple Support

If you haven't already, we recommend testing the issue in Safe Mode. This is an easy way to isolate potential software related issues. Here's how: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
