Out of curiosity, is the right click menu shown in the video on the bottom of page 2 of the DO9 preview the default menu? Mine is substantially different (e.g., it's missing Navigation Lock) and I don't remember customizing it.

It's not the default menu but I can post it later if you want a copy. I have modified my context menus quite a lot.

Take a look at the File Types section in the PDF manual. On Page 124 (Page 132 for Adobe Reader 😒) it is described how to customize the context menus.

If you'd like to apply some changes that are more substantial, there are some interesting threads here:

The menu NeilN refers to is actually the Lister Context Menu rather than a filetype context menu. The Lister Context Menu can be edited from Customise - Context Menus.

If you could post yours, that'd be great. I'm always interested in what other users have come up with.

Thanks Leo and Ken. Just added the "DOS Prompt Here" command to Leo's Lister context menu and now I'm all set.

I have DO installed on two computers. DO on my desktop has right-click context menu options to convert or combine files to Adobe PDF - which I use all the time. For some reason the PDF context menu options were not enabled with DO on my laptop. I assume there is a way to enable the context menu via the reference above but I need more information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Opus doesn't have anything like that built-in so this menu would be coming from something else you have installed on your desktop.

OK. I have Adobe Acrobat installed on both systems. How do I enable Adobe context menus on my laptop? Or stated another way; Why do I have the context menus on my desktop system and not on my laptop?

Thanks!

Do the items appear if you hold shift as you right-click?

If so you've probably turned on the "Hide Windows items on file context menus" option in Opus. It's under Prefs -\> Misc. -\> Windows Integration.
