I just bought hazel too. I’ll look into this more with hazel and see if it’s what I need

Ah I see, I had a look at that link can see it becoming quite a tricky task and I think my expectations would be too much. It would essentially need to copy a date, invoice number and all the line items and their cost into a csv format for it to be worth the time to develop because otherwise, I will still need to copy and paste and manipulate the data which would take me just as long as probably manually entering the invoices. Thanks for your quick reply.

Hi @xilopaint, looks like you have a great workflow here. I am fairly new so I'm not sure whats possible. As per my first post: I would love to know if its possible to do text extraction from PDF's

Thanks for the heads up Vitor. I will ask the question

hey, I have just purchased the powerpack 2 minutes ago. I'm just a bit new to it so not sure on what I will end up using it for. One idea that I would love to solve and not sure if Alfred can do it is extraction of text from PDFs. TL;DR - I want to be able to extract text from batches of PDFs to be able to import that data into our accounting software. Full story We have a business, one software does the day to day processes and management of clients (Realtime). Internally, we then have our business accounting software (Xero). Xero has an API but Realtime doesn't. At the end of the deal, Realtime exports a PDF invoice that goes to the client. We hold money in a trust account which covers the invoice so we then create the same invoice in Xero for internal paper trail purposes which allows us to then pay for the invoice from the trust. Some invoices might have 2 line items, other invoices might have 8-10 items and its time consuming.
