Hi.<br />
<br />
I want to create a macro in outlook that will:<br />
<br />
1. look for new incoming mail from a specific address with specific subject (&quot;invoices&quot;).<br />
2. Open the PDF attachment in Acrobat, OCR the file, search for a specific number on one part of the page (top right corner within one inch of the edge of the page).<br />
3. use the number found there to rename the file name.<br />
4. save the file in a specific local folder.<br />

Am I insane to think that a macro can do this? &nbsp;I;m pretty new to macros so don't really know how to write VB Script. &nbsp;If possible, how do i do it?

Hi.

I want to create a macro in outlook that will:

1. look for new incoming mail from a specific address with specific subject ("invoices").
2. Open the PDF attachment in Acrobat, OCR the file, search for a specific number on one part of the page (top right corner within one inch of the edge of the page).
3. use the number found there to rename the file name.
4. save the file in a specific local folder.

Am I insane to think that a macro can do this?  I;m pretty new to macros so don't really know how to write VB Script.  If possible, how do i do it?

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

Outlook

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.
