I'm still feeling my way around Hazel, and am struggling with something.

When I download a bank statement (PDF), I want Hazel to rename it based on the month. I believe this is possible somehow, but can't work it out? The PDFs are all named "Statement_xxxx.pdf", and I want the final file to be called something like "2016-08_Statement.pdf". How would I go about doing that?

I'm sure I saw something about Hazel being able to read the PDF file somehow?

EDIT: I have PDF Expert installed on my Mac, if that helps?

Try searching the support knowledge base as it should have links to articles on this: https://www.noodlesoft.com/support

In short, though, you would use "Contents contain match". Search the help for "match patterns" for more details on how to specify the pattern.

Just got this working! Hazel is pretty damn impressive, great work!
