Terminal mdls search Sun May 08, 2016 9:47 pm • by Grezza53
I have a receipt from an estate agent that is scanned but prob an image file labelled as a PDF as ocr in Hazel doesn't work. So, I a have tried using the terminal and 'mdls' command.
This gives me attributes for the file, but I don't seem to be able to get the rules to work on these.
I have attached the file, screen shot of mdls printout,screen shot of 'get info' screen hoping you may have some advice.[img]4682-ee6e02f4-a724-48a3-a84c-f748a0bf40d5.pdf

The images didn't come through. Keep in mind you need to use an external image hosting service as you can't upload them here.

Also, Hazel doesn't do OCR. You'll need another program to do that. Hazel just processes the resulting text.
