Anyone know of a service or software that will rename the pdf file based on content of pdf file?

[jeffk]

I have to scan in say 200 pdf files a month. Is there any software that I can run on the pdf files that will rename the off file based on something on the pdf file?

Say there is an account number in the same spot of the page on 100 of the pdf files, is there software that I could tell read read that spot on the page and name the file that plus say May?

Another job lost to AI,

It doesn’t even have to try. We are asking for it…

PDF24 can prolly do it. Used it for a number of years for OCR, editing and creating.

Note, I really only use it for gaming purposes. No real idea of it's business merits.

Try RPA software like UIPath

I made something similar for a friend's engineering business that extracts certain values from pdfs and makes reports. Used some C# pdf lib.

Probably there is a fairly straight forward way to do what you want with a python library.

Maybe the Selenium library has a function for this.

Isn't selenium a web package? Sounds like OP is doing desktop stuff

It's also a library in Python.

Also TS, search stackoverflow.

I think a python script would do it. It's been awhile, but I've done that with other file types.

Thanks for the tips.

I looked into evermap some and I think it might work. But I realized my documents don't have the same info on the same spot.

I guess I could scan the in blocks and use evermap to map each block of documents.

Is there smart software that is able determine which type of document it is and then use the appropriate mapping assignment?

Once a document is named, how would be the best way to get in contact with someone who write a script that would be able to file a document into different folders? Is that possible?
