Thanks to awesome DocumentSnap reader Thomas, I have come across a tool called DropIt, which will do almost everything that Hazel will do, but it is free and open source(!). On Windows, there have been options but they are either not as fully featured or are not well supported. On the Mac, the gold standard is a tool called Hazel, which I have written about many times. Even better if you can automatically process a bunch of PDFs at once. I've had a look at the Scan and OCR Tool in Acrobat DC Pro, and while it will batch rename files in a folder, it does not seem to be able to do so using information extracted from these files.I often say that the holy grail of going paperless is the ability to scan a document and have your computer automatically rename and move it away. We currently Use A-PDF Rename as follows:Ģ) Adim opens the folder in the app, hand-selects all the new invoices that have been added.ģ) Runs a macro that allows the app to OCR each invoice and output Invoice Number, Date and Amount as a rename of the original fileĤ) The app identifies whether the rename has been successful with a green tick, or specifies an error with a red X The saving of files to a specific network folder is done manually, so that requirement is removed.ġ) Automate opening up each invoice and recognising information such as Invoice Number and Date using OCRĢ) Batch rename all PDFs in the folder using the resulting OCR information to create the name in a specified format We would like to use Acrobat Pro DC to rename all our invoices and make it easier for our Creditors team to find and service them. OK, a modification of our requirementsas I have received additional infomation.
