I get this error: (FYI: the file I was using is Management Agreement - Dubay.pdf 21:01:49.722 hazelworker Processing folder Auto OCR Files (forced) 21:01:51.728 hazelworker Management Agreement - Dubay.pdf: Rule OCR any Non-OCR File matched. The rule basically just runs the shell script and moves it to another folder. Then I have a hazel rule to run on every file added to the folder. I setup an automator Folder Action to change the Creator to "ScanSnap Manager".

I would use one of those three programs to set the Content Creator to "ScanSnap Manager". It's unnecessarily difficult for mere mortals to install, but it's powerful.

3) pdftk is an amazing, freeware, command-line tool that can manipulate PDF files in all sorts of ways.
Apple's "Set PDF Data" Automator action does basically everything PDFAuxInfo did, so it's not a big loss. It stopped working for me a long time ago. 2) PDFAuxInfo is/was a freeware, third-party action for Automator that would allow you to edit the metadata of a PDF.
I'm not sure if it's even still available. Lastly: 1) PDFInfo is a freeware app that can be used to manually change metadata of a PDF using a GUI. After you save this as an Automator workflow, there's an option in Hazel to apply an Automator workflow to files matching your criteria. Then fill in the remainder of the box with the shell script as described above. Step 2: "Run Shell Script", shell:, and Pass input. Use it to set the Content Creator to "ScanSnap Manager". However, to give my best guess, if I were to use Automator to create a workflow, it might be configured as follows: Step 1: "Set PDF Data".

This is the way I discovered and it still works beautifully. (Forgive me if I didn't properly escape all of the appropriate characters in the above command.) Lastly, I guarantee that there are other ways to programmatically reduce the size of a PDF. while [ ! -e "$ Reduced.pdf" - The script-supplied path and filename to the PDF the quartzfilter will write. Code: Select all #! /bin/bash if ! grep Font "$1" then # Open the file in ABBYY's FineReader open -a 'Scan to Searchable PDF.app' "$1" # Wait around until the file is done being processed by testing to see if a file named "yourfile processed by FineReader" exists. I'm sure I have script that can automate that if you'd like.

(Question: Why don't I just let the ScanSnap software run the PDF though FineReader automatically? Answer: I don't feel like waiting for it.) If it didn't, and you still want to use the version of ABBYY FineReader that came with your ScanSnap, you'll need to use PDFInfo, PDFAuxInfo, or pdftk to set the PDF's Creator to "ScanSnap Manager".
#PDF FILE SIZE IN PDFPENPRO MAC CODE#
Since my version of ABBYY FineReader came bundled with my ScanSnap, this code assumes your freshly-scanned PDF originated from a Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner. Here's a shell script example: Code: Select all #! /bin/bash if ! grep Font "$1" then echo "This file needs to be OCRd" else echo "This file does not need to be OCRd" fi Even better, my first rule for one of my watched folders contains a shell script to automatically test a PDF to see if it needs to be OCR'd then OCRs it if necessary. I automated this capability by using the command "grep". This time, you should find words like "FontName", "BaseFont", and/or "Font". Then, run the PDF through your favorite OCR program, open in TextMate, then search again. To prove this to yourself, open a freshly scanned (non-OCR'd) PDF in TextMate, or your favorite text editor. By "text", I mean the binary-level code of the PDF, not the PDF text itself. Basically, if the text for a PDF file contains the word "Font", it's likely it's either been printed natively to a PDF or already been run through a OCR program, such as Adobe Acrobat, ABBYY FineReader, or the OCR capabilities of PDFpen(Pro). I recently discovered a way to determine if a PDF file contains a Optical Character Recogition (OCR'd) text layer, or even a native text layer, and thought this board might benefit.
