#196 Unknown FirstFileContentDateNormalized

[Anonymous]

Hello, I LOVE this program and if I knew anything about coding I'd be happy to help (where can I learn?) In the last year or two, I've noticed an ongoing inability to recognize dates in the content of the PDF files. It used to work excellent, but lately it seems to not be able to identify and gives the default output:

Unknown FirstFileContentDateNormalized

When I open the PDF, the text is all OCR and easily readable and I can "highlight" or select the date/text so it should be able to find it?

I am wondering about this issue. I am still using it, and as long as the PDF files do contain text (e.g. via OCR), the text is being recognized properly.

You might want to check the pattern configuration in the configuration file.

Hello Divinity, is there a better OCR program you are using? I scan all of my documents and the built in OCR service for ScanSnap used to be great but seems to be inadequate lately.

We use pdftotext to extract content from PDF files, i.e. you can use any OCR on your PDF documents to recognize content (e.g. from ScanSnap) and DropIt will use exactly that recognized texts for the further evaluation.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately it was not helpful.
That is exactly the issue I am experiencing.

The PDF has been OCR and text is readable, but DropIt does not find it
for some reason.

Please help.
