Welcome @jorgezajgla
It’s not a bug at all.You need to follow the basic logic and inputs of the actions.
Look at your smart rule. What are you initially acting on? A TIFF image.
You:
- Change the TIFF’s name
- Convert the TIFF to a PDF.
- Apply OCR to the TIFF
- File the TIFF.
- Display a notification.
So the smart rule followed your instructions to the letter.
A few things here:
- You can use a Convert & Continue action to switch the current input to the converted file.
- The Convert step is unnecessary as OCR operates on raster images (and in fact, has long before people started doing OCR on PDFs).
- Since there is no OCR & Continue action at this time, OCR > Apply is a good option since it doesn’t generate a new file.
- You can easily do the Move to a destination folder before the OCR. However, if the destination folder has smart rules attached, you may not want to do the Move first. This would be highly dependent on other smart rules you have running.
Here is a modified (simplified) version…
