| Description: |
| I have a large number of PDF files each containing a one or two page document which has been scanned in (using the OCR option). The documents are things like letters and invoices. They all have a date fairly early on in the OCR text but the date could be in dd/mm/yyyy format or 2nd April 2003, etc. I want to rename the files by adding the date found in the file, converted to the standard form yyyy mm dd, to the beginning of the file name. |
