Hazel-OCR-PDFPen Pro has begun malfunctioning
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2026 6:08 amHi,
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.
