I have a PDF file that contains multiple scanned documents, each with a different number of pages. I want to split this PDF into separate documents (order of documents my vary depending on the employee who scanned the documents) before passing it to a document understanding template.

Is there a solution to automatically split the PDF by document in UiPath? If so, please share it
Thank you in advance.

Hi @Youssef_Barj

You can make use of Extract pdf range activity
Make sure to download UiPath.PDF.Activities from manage packages

Hope this helps!

Hi @Sanjay_Bhat thanks for your reply
the Extract PDF Page Range will not work for me because i don’t know in first place the length of each document (same document can have 1 to 3 pages)

That’s the point to Document Understanding. You use Document Classification to determine which pages are which documents, then you can use the classification output to get the page ranges and split them out to separate PDFs with the Extract PDF Page Range activity.
