PDFZone 3​

I'm proud to introduce PDFZone 3, a great macOS app that allows you to:

• Automatically rename your PDF files based on their content
• Automatically extract your PDF files content to useful data (CSV file)

Examples of use:

- Example 1: Suppose you want to automatically rename all your received invoices with the following format: <date>_<invoice-provider-name>_<invoice-number>, you just need PDFZone for that.

- Example 2: Suppose you want to have the total amount of your telecom invoices for the last ten years (= 120 monthly invoices). The first time, tell PDFZone where to find the total amount on such invoice, then give all your invoices (PDF) to PDFZone. The app will automatically create a CSV file. Now you just have to use the data in the software of your choice (Excel, accounting, ...). Easy!

How to use it?

• Define what you want to extract (a date, an invoice number, the amount of an invoice, ...)
• For each type of PDF, tell PDFZone where to extract (= select a zone)
• Give hundreds of PDF to PDFZone, and it will:
  • Recognize the type of PDF
  • Rename the PDF files based on their content (define an output format) OR extract the content to a CSV file

What's new in v3?

• PDFZone is smarter: it can now recognize dates and numbers (and of course text). This allows to transform the date to the format of your choice when renaming/exporting. Wow , I'm quite glad to have achieved that.
• Brand new interface for defining zone: easier and faster
• Many other improvements (accuracy, performance, ...)

Features:

- Automatic PDF files renaming
- Automatic PDF files extraction
- Smart: with the "Trusted Neighbour" functionality, you can also extract values that might not always be at the same position (ex: the total of an invoice which position is below the items, whose number might vary from one invoice to another)
- Smart: adapts to variations when the PDF has been scanned
- Command-Line Interface for integration with other softwares
- Dark Mode support
- TouchBar support

Hey guys, this is Black friday.
There is currently a 15% discount on the lifetime (= one-time purchase) licence until Monday (included).
It's time to automate your PDFs =).

PS: I'm working on adding Siri Shortcuts support, to improve automation with PDFZone, and integrate into your workflow. Currently, there is already a command-line interface.

Hello guys, so the app has had a lot of popularity lately.
However, I get very few feedback, so I kinda don't know what you would like to see next in PDFZone. (I don't collect any data so I have no insights on how the app is being used)

Any idea/suggestion of new feature/improvement that would help your workflow for even more efficiency with PDFZone?
