  • It targets an indexed Finder folder files needing OCR would be put into.
  • It checks for a specific tag (this is optional).
  • It looks for images or PDFs with no words.

On import, i.e., when you drop a file into the folder and DEVONthink detects it…

  • The file is moved into the database. This is an import and removes the file from the Finder folder. No cleanup needed!
  • Does OCR on the file. The Apply option doesn’t genetate a new file. Again, no cleanup needed.
  • Tags the file (still optional)
  • Moves the file into a destination group.

Here is the smart rule if you’d like to mess with it…
