Hazel-OCR-PDFPen Pro has begun malfunctioning Tue Aug 25, 2026 6:08 am • by gaveuse
Hi,

Based on a modified version of Katie Floyd's script, I have been utilizing a Hazel script with success for years. It has recently begun to introduce all kinds of issues when processing my files. Sometimes it reports a problem while evaluating a Word document, and other times it doesn't OCR.
I'm using the most recent versions of Mac OS, Hazel, and PDF Pen Pro 12.2.2.

I am aware that PDF Pen Pro was sold to a different business. Perhaps this will help to explain the changes.

Does anyone else experience this issue? If so, is there a solution?

I should note that these issues arose after I moved all of my documents, including PDFs, to iCloud and modified the Hazel monitoring folder appropriately.

Try the script outside of Hazel to see if the problem is there. Also, go to Help->View Logs and see if there are any errors.
