There are a few ways you can come at this. However, you would rather have a PDF copy – or images as my MPU colleague prefers. Before or after class you are either sent, or given access to download a Powerpoint presentation with the slides for that particular lecture. I don’t know about you, but my file management can get a little haphazard when done manually. Automating the filing of those slides is both, a good way to save a little time, and a way to ensure a consistent and reliable filing system. Most good lecturers will share their presentations with you for their classes. This is a fairly common need among students. I was about to share the Automator action and Hazel rule that make up this little scheme when it dawned on me that this is a good opportunity to share a fairly straight forward workflow you can easily automate.
This came from a response to a fellow traveller in the Mac Power Users Facebook group.
