I gave Hazel a very simple rule to tag PDF files with an empty the Author field in their metadata.



It was able find some of them. But, it missed more than half of them.

All of the pdfs are healthy (not corrupted); I am able see and open their author field (Properties) is empty.

Why is it?

Make sure the authors field is what you expect in the preview.

Make sure the files aren't matching a different rule earlier in the list.

Finally, see if there are any mentions of the files in the logs.
