PDF automation - How to split PDF based on content using UiPath

[sankpati (Sanket Patil)]

I have a PDF document generated by my financial management system (for example,
“invoice.pdf”). The file contains hundreds of invoices. I want to split it on invoice
number information within the PDF.

Hi @sankpati

Can you share the sample invoice if possible ?

[sankpati (Sanket Patil)]

Hello @anoopap,

The invoice information is confidential.
I can give you a brief:

Suppose one pdf contains 5 invoices with 12 pages, I want that 5 invoices to be split into 5 different PDFs, so suppose I want to split that invoices based on invoice number(unique value) then How can split the same ?

I tried but not able to find the activity to split PDF based on content, can you please help me to take it ahead?

@balupad14 I have tried on both the UiPath versions V18.4.6 enterprose and V19.10 beta community but I am not able to get that activities in activity pane after installing the Balareva PDF activity V2.0.1.
I will try with the same package once again, but can you please confirm that can we split the PDF based on content?
