How to use Split PDF by Text
Create separate PDFs using text markers in invoices, chapters, and reports. Review matching pages and excerpts before splitting, while retaining all original pages.
- Choose your PDF and enter one or more text markers. Set whole-word or complete-line matching, case sensitivity, and header or footer filtering as needed.
- Find matching pages, uncheck unwanted matches, and choose whether a matching page starts or ends a section.
- Review the planned sections, create the PDFs, and preview or download each file or the complete ZIP.
What to check before using the result
Search reads selectable text, not image-only scans. All source pages remain in the resulting sections. Repeated headers can create unwanted split points; review matches or group consecutive matching pages. Internal links need their destinations in the same output PDF.
