What this tool does

Start a new PDF whenever a page contains a phrase you choose. Separate a batch of text-based invoices or reports by a repeated heading instead of entering every split point manually.

What you can open
One PDF with selectable text and a phrase that marks a new document.
What you will download
Several PDFs grouped by matching start pages.

How to use it

  1. Choose a phrase that reliably appears at the beginning of each item.
  2. Open the combined file and enter that phrase.
  3. Run the split and review the boundaries of every resulting document.

Options explained

Split before pages containing
Enter the text to find. Check matches carefully because PDF words can be stored in separate text items.

Know the tradeoffs

  • The tool searches selectable text; a photograph of words needs OCR first.
  • A phrase that also appears in footers or unrelated pages can create unwanted splits.

Questions about this tool

Will this work on scanned invoices?

Run OCR first so the scanned words become searchable.

Does a matching page start the next output?

Yes. Matching pages are used as boundaries for new groups.
