Hi,
I updated to Ventura 13.2.1 the other and now I can no longer use the 'Create PDF' function on Quick Actions. Whenever I try, I'm told "There was a problem running the action."
I've tried various options but keep getting the same response. Anyone having this problem or can think of a solution? Thanks!
MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11
This very simple shortcut made in the Shortcuts application is working for me as an alternative.
(Note: I do still have the old Create PDF service, and it still works; in another thread several people are having the same problem - this serves as a drop-in replacement; you can name it in way you want)
Thanks for this answer -- I never tried the Shortcuts App so that was very interesting. Two questions:
1) I can't figure out how to save the output. So far I've now got 'Make a PDF' as part of my quick actions but I couldn't figure out how to get the 'save as pdf' command. So, when I click 'make pdf' it just says it's working on it but there's no new file on my desktop. (See my screenshot).
2) While this is a nice hack, I'm wondering why this has happened and if there's a proper fix? I didn't see a solution in in the old threds I found (maybe I missed a good one?). I just found out my my 'convert image' Quick Action link isn't working either. Would love to have this working properly if anyone has any advice.
Thanks a million!

No, you don't need an additional download.
On the right pane, click the circled i icon, and then make sure that "Use as Quick Action" is checked. This will automatically add the "Receive ...." thing at the top, so you can adjust what files to accept.

I had the same problem until a recent update provided (March 28th) on ventura (now 13.3) and problem is solved.
