Apply Tags to documents imported from Watched Folders, based on document content
I have a lot of documents that are already in PDF format and I would like to import them into eDO. I set up a watched folder and ensured that the eDO Tags all had "Suggest this label" checked (they are all set with the label the same as the Tag -- 'June' Tag had 'June' as the suggested label)
When I drag one of my PDF documents to the watched folder, eDO does import it, but no tags are applied. The labels I have in eDO are definitely in the PDF, and the PDF was originally a download, not a scan, so the text is positively available to match the labels.
I tried this multiple times, with different included labels (Labels that were suggestions for existing Tags). No PDF Documents were ever Tagged on the Import from the watched folder.
I also tried importing a TXT file with matching labels and that was also imported without any Tags. I even tried Printing the PDF to the eDO Printer, and again, no tags were applied. Curiously, printing the TXT file to eDO did give me suggested tags.
I have hundreds of PDF files to import, How do I get Tags applied when importing them?

I am unable to reproduce the behavior you are describing below with the latest version of eDoc Organizer (Version 4.6.x.x)
eDoc Organizer can only suggest the label if the suggestion words are searchable in the PDF file. If you open your PDF file in a PDF viewer like Adobe Acrobat, are you able to search for the word that should trigger the label suggestion? If you are, please send us the PDF in question at support@edocllc.com so that we can investigate the issue further.

I have tried both importing and drag and drop. Neither method generates Label selections when importing a PDF. I can drag and drop a TXT file and I do get the correct label suggestions.
No method of bringing a PDF into eDO seems able to apply labels/tags.

Thank you for the feedback Michael. Label suggestions feature in eDoc Organizer is currently not compatible with Folder Monitoring. You can use other methods of import, such as drag and drop, File > Import, etc. to import your documents into eDoc Organizer with label suggestions.
