Customize the Ribbon

This feature is only available if the Advanced Volume license is active.

    The Customization dialog box appears.

  2. On the left panel, click Customize Ribbon.

    The left list offers the available commands, while the structured list on the right presents the actual Ribbon command set.

  3. Optionally, filter the command list by selecting a tool category in the Choose commands from drop-down list.
  4. In the list on the right, select a custom group for the new command to add.
    1. To create a new tab with a new group, click New Tab.
    2. To add a new group to an existing tab, click New Group.
    3. To rename the selected custom tab or group, use the Rename button.

      You cannot rename the default commands.

    Optionally, filter the list by selecting a tool category in the Customize the Ribbon drop-down list.

    • Select the preferred command in the left list, then click Add.
    • Double-click the preferred command in the left list.
  6. Position the new item on the Ribbon by using the up and down arrow buttons on the right.

    You cannot add or remove commands in default groups. Instead, remove the default group and create a group with the same name, which you can customize to your preference.

  7. Optionally, click Remove to delete a custom command, a group, or a tab.
    Power PDF does not ask for confirmation when removing custom Ribbon items.
