Workflow to find content in pdf in a especific folder question.


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am struggling a lot to create a simple workflow following the template "File filter from keyword and open" and also the instructions here https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/inputs/script-filter/.

 

My workflow is simple as two objects: File Filter and Open file.

 

On file filter I added com.adobe.pdf as file type, limited the scope with a single folder with a few PDF documents and I add the metadata kMDItemTextContent with Words and Split.  

 

However it is very inconsistent. Sometime works but sometimes shows many others documents that are not PDF and are not in my workflow selected folder. Also some words that are inside the documents are not found.

 

I am not sure if what I am trying to achieve with this workflow is wrong and if I am missing anything basic here (probably) but can you please suggest?

 

Thanks in advance.
