Reading PDF to rename Fri Mar 15, 2019 4:40 pm • by Xhosa
I could not find the instructions I needed to do the following:

I am exporting mail messages from Apple Mail as PDFs, I am using Keyboard Masetro and this works great. Now I would like Hazel to rename the file based on information in the PDF. I would like Hazel to rename the file by reading the company name or sender and put the date the invoice was generated or even the date the email was received.
any Ideas

Check out "match patterns" in the help. You would use one to match the "Contents" attribute. If you run into specific problems, reply back here.

Thank you Mr. Noodle. I am happy that you pointed me to where in the manual I would find the answer to my question. This really helped me understand the program, since I didn't know how to research what I was looking for. This way I learned more about the program than if you just sent me the text…I do love HAZEL.
