searching contents of PDF broke when I upgraded to a new MBA
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2023 1:05 pm10 rules that I have used for several years to file PDFs from my Downloads folder all stopped working right around the time I upgraded to a new Macbook Air. I don't know if it's a M2 issue, or if it's a Ventura issue, or if is a transfer of my license issue, but they don't work anymore. Recreating them from scratch also does not work. Any ideas?
The rules look like this:
-----------------
if ALL of the following conditions are met
Name - starts with - Remittance_Advice_Report
Extension - is - pdf
Contents - contain - SFMA Run ID
-----------------
it does not match any files. BUT if I remove the Contents line, it will match the files. The files in question *do* include "SFMA Run ID", if you search on them in the open PDF (using command-F), it highlights the phrase as expected. My work-around is to remove the contents line for some of the rules, but that doesn't work for a handful of them, because multiple PDFs with different contents have the same filename when they are downloaded.
