Thank you for your work! I've used it before. There might be a problem with space characters in file names. The dialogue gives me ("Date Example.pdf"): ERROR - InputFileError: File not found - Date ERROR - InputFileError: File not found - Example.pdf

Should work now if you update. https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-actions/pull/413 You just need the relevant tesseract package installed. E.g. tesseract-ocr-ell.
