I use OCR with Pdfpenpro AppleScript and it works well generally but
sometimes it is doing so fast that when I am prompted to give a title by the time I write title it has do OCR twice so I end up with 2 files .
sometimes for no reason apparent to me it goes in endless loop. What am I doing wrong?

the script I use is well known from Katie Floyd/ David Spark in around 2010:

tell application "PDFpenPro"
open theFile as alias
tell document 1
ocr
repeat while performing ocr
delay 1
end repeat
delay 1
close with saving
end tell
quit
end tell

Can I change delay to 2 or 3?

I can't speak for the script, but how is your rule set up?

Mr_Noodle, Please see the link below to see the image of how my rule is setup

You should add a condition to the rule to exclude files if there is a green tag otherwise it potentially can match the same rule again.
