How to add the external action

The External actions can be added in the Action Manager. PDFix Desktop supports two types of external actions:

  • Docker
    • An action built in a docker container on your computer
  • Local
    • An action based on a command-line application installed on your computer

Choose the Type and type the Name of the external actions you want to import. Click Add Action to import the action into the PDFix.

Warning: Make sure Docker is running before adding a docker action. If Docker is not installed or running, the container will not be able to start.

Installing Docker

If Docker is not already installed, follow the official installation guide on the Docker website to set it up for your operating system.
