Hi, I have DTOP on trial and am very impressed. I have a question:

I have followed some suggestions about using Hazel & DTOP to import PDF’s, then OCR them. My query is I would then like to rename them with the text following “Re:” (The subject of each letter) and then move them into a specific database, is this possible, if so how?

Thanks in advance for your help for what I am sure is a rudimentary question!

Hi Macheff,

that you can do in Hazel:

  • let it rename the file according to the text needed ie. date - subject or whatever.

  • let Hazel save the document to another folder (ie DTPO).

Right click on this folder an use a folder action (here: add documents to DTPO).

DTPO will watch this folder and as soon as there are documents included, it will import to the database.

Hope that helps.
