Smart rule: rename based on pdf content possible?

Easy enough especially if the text is always the same.

Write an AppleScript to try getting the text of the document. If the try fails, convert the document to pdf+txt (perform ocr). Once that’s done, you can use AppleScript to find the key phrase (“advice date”) and grab the 8 characters after and parse a date from it. Or just write it to a string “pay stub for 11/12/23.pdf” or whatever.
