Search content of PDF file to locate and read dates.
I have a couple thousand receipts that were scanned into PDF files and need to rename them based on the following:
Store Name + Date + Total Sale.
I have been unable to find a method to search PDF file content for "/ /" to locate then extract the date then manipulate it to
a YYYY-MM-DD format.
I would assume searching content for a "$" to locate and extract the total sale would be similar.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Re: Search content of PDF file to locate and read dates.
There is a script (for PascalScript rule) to extract various tags from PDF files:

There is also "pdftotext" tool in the same Xpdf package whcih can extract plain text from PDF files.
