Embedded Script Error

I have an action with the following shell script which works fine...

Code: Select all: qpdf $1 --decrypt --password=xxxxxxxx --replace-input ocrmypdf --force-ocr --deskew $1 $1

I decided to split this into two actions, with the first being the qpdf command, but checking for a specific file name...

Code: Select all: if [[ $1 == myEncryptedFile ]]; then qpdf $1 --decrypt --password= xxxxxxxx --replace-input else echo "No Match" fi

I have enabled Hazel debugging and when the action runs it drops inside the if statement, but then fails on the qpdf command. Here is the script output...

2023-09-11 18:12:57.616 hazelworker[80066] DEBUG: == script output ==
EncryptedPdfError: Input PDF is encrypted. The encryption must be removed to
perform OCR.

For information about this PDF's security use
qpdf --show-encryption infilename

You can remove the encryption using
qpdf --decrypt [--password=[password]] infilename

== End script output ==

The files security allows all actions once decrypted. I changed my qpdf format to that provided in the script output, but receive the same output. I am at a loss as I mentioned before. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm unclear on why you are checking for a specific file name. I don't know the programs in questoin. Does qpdf always output using the same filename?

Of all the files that I am processing with Hazel, it is just this one file that is encrypted and always has the same name, thus that is what I look for. The program does not always output the same filename, that is just what I asked it to do with the replace-input option.

I actually realized that the output I provided in my initial post is from the second script where it tries to OCR the file. The script where I am attempting to decrypt the file, I found was not dropping into the if statement because I was matching just the filename (sans the extension), and $1 is the full path and filename. I modified the script to the following and it works perfectly.

Code: Select all: fullPath=$1 fileName=$fullPath:t if [[ $fileName == myEncryptedFile.pdf ]] then qpdf $1 --decrypt --password=xxxxxxxx --replace-input else echo "No Match" echo $1 echo $fileName fi
