PDF Expert OCR Apple Script

Working on having a folder that hazel monitors and when it sees a new PDF, it launches PDF Expert and OCR's the file.

This would repeat until all files in the folder have been OCR'd.

Looking for the apple script to make this work.

Thanks,
MM

This seems PDF Expert specific. You may want to consult their forums to see if anyone can help you there.

What is the right apple script to launch a program for OCR.

It's program specific so you need to consult PDF Expert to see how to do that.

I know that this doesn't directly answer your specific question, but you might consider looking at OwlOCR because they specifically have a command line interface that can be used to automate scripting: https://owlocr.com/blog/posts/owlocr-5- ... -interface
