How to split a merged PDF into each individual PDF page with the help of classification feature of Document understanding in Uipath?

I have uploaded many PDFs into DU’s classification section, in that some are merged PDFs. So, I need to split the merged PDF into single pages of PDF and need to classify them. How to do it?

Can anyone support in this process?

Use Extract PDF Page Range activity to split up all the pages and then pass each page as a separate pdf for classification.

  • Use Digitize Document on the merged PDF
  • Use Classify Document Scope
  • Enable Page Range Classification

Hi @vignesh_S.M

First, split the merged PDFs into single-page PDFs. In UiPath, use Read PDF / Digitize Document to load the file, then use Split PDF (or use a simple workflow with Get Page Count + Extract PDF Pages) to create one PDF per page and save them temporarily.

Second, send each single-page PDF to Document Understanding – Classification. Classification works best at page level, so loop through the split PDFs and classify each one individually.

Hi @vignesh_S.M

I think DU does not support splitting merged PDFs inside the Classification section, so you must first split the PDF into single-page documents using a PDF activity or external tool, then upload and classify the individual PDFs.

If helpful, mark as solution. Happy automation with UiPath

You can split them after classification, based on the classification. This would be more efficient than splitting them first then making the user go through and classify a bunch of individual pages. This is the point to the classifier interface, where they can classify each page (or page ranges) of the merged PDF. Then you can use that data to split into multiple PDFs which could be single or multiple pages.
