I can't figure out how to word this for a Google search, so thought I'd ask the Automator gurus here. One of my tasks at work is to place anywhere from 10-50 orders for a particular part at the end of each day. Instead of wasting that much paper and ink, I save the confirmations as PDFs and place them on a server for all to view. Now, each of these PDFs have a particular 5-digit part number that is unique to our system. I could copy and paste, I could retype, but since the number is there on every page already, is there any way to get Automator or something similar to pull that number and save the file under that? Since Leopard is very good about indexing PDFs, it doesn't really matter for me as I can find each one rather quickly through Spotlight. However, I'm the only Mac user. Everyone else just sees the serialized numbers (1...2...3) under the folder date (122108). Any ideas?
