So I have a rule set up that all PDF files that don't have an appendix "-OCR" must be run through with OCR engine of PDFPen. the script looks like this:


the script that it runs is:

Code: Select all

tell application "PDFpen"
   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


the rule status shows that it matched... see:



so for example when i check if my test file matches the rules - it shows that it does... see


but when I see it via the debug log it says:

2019-02-21 12:41:57.045 hazelworker[14514] DEBUG: Screen Shot 2019-02-21 at 11.44.18 AM.png.pdf: Did not match any rules.

while at the same time the rule status menu shows that it matched the file with the rule... see


and the file is not processed... I have no idea why... please help!!!!

I'm wondering if Spotlight is lagging behind so that the Kind classification is, for a brief period, different. Try using "extension" instead of "Kind" and see if the results are any different.
