SWA_Paycheck_Processor/Paycheck_Processor.sh

#! /bin/bash

###
#This script is designed to take a batch file from WorkDay which contains multiple PDFs of paychecks
#and convert it into individual PDF files with correct filenames.
#Navigate to the directory of your destination, and call this script with the argument of the batch file.
#This script will:
#- Break apart the batch file to multiple incorrectly named files
#- Read each file to obtain the Paycheck Date
#- Rename each file to Payslip-[DATE_WITH_UNDERSCRORES].pdf
#
#The script works by reading the pdf and finding the last line number containing the text "Check Date".
#It then reads the value of the next line, which should be the check date with slashes.
#The script then replaces slashes with underscores per the current convention.
#
#If this script ever breaks, it will most likely be a change in paycheck format and thus a failure
#to find the 'Check Date' field correctly.
