When I click Convert to pdf it goes into the pdf app. I would like to convert directly in the folder
As far as I know, there's no native feature in Opus to convert to PDF.
You should look into the action behind your button (the one that leads to opening "the pdf app").
Is it the same in File Explorer? That isn’t a command Opus itself adds.
In File Explorer, there is an option to convert file to pdf. The pdf appears in the folder when created. In Opus when I select the file and use to convert to pdf option the file is created in Adobe Acrobat. Then I would have to save it to a folder. Can Opus simply convert the pdf in the same folder this way I don't have to go to Acrobat and select a folder to save
There is an option in File Explorer to conver a file to pdf. This happens in the folder itself, but in Opus, the file is converted in Adobe Acrobat then I have to save the pdf to a folder. Hope you understand
Opus isn’t what’s doing the conversion, or adding the menu item you’re using.
It’s added by a shell extension something else (maybe Acrobat or other PDF software), has installed, and when you click it all Opus does is call it with a list of filenames. What it then does with that list is up to it, not Opus.
I am not sure why it would do different things inside different programs, but Adobe have a decades-long history of failure when it comes to writing shell extensions, so it may just be that.
What happens if you try the same in something like Notepad’s File Open dialog? That’ll tell us if the menu item is literally doing different things depending on if it’s running inside File Explorer vs another process.
(Another option for PDF conversion is to use a virtual printer which outputs PDF files. These are common and may already be installed. But they tend to ask fir a filename each time you sens something to them, so they may bot be as good for batch conversions.)
