Split a PDF During Upload

Turn one combined PDF into separate documents while uploading it

Use this when one PDF contains several invoices, receipts, statements, or other documents that should become separate records.

Open the upload drawer

Open the parser's Document Inbox and click Upload Documents.

Check the separate documents

Test with one PDF before processing a large batch. Each split document is processed separately and uses its normal page-processing credits. Split with AI also costs an extra 1 credit per page being split. If the parser has Pages to be parsed enabled, PARSER selects those pages first, and splitting and per-page charges apply only to that selected set.

See Pages to be parsed for page-selection examples and Credits and Billing for calculation examples. Need the same split rule for email, upload pages, and future uploads? See Configure Split Documents.
