Hi Guys, can anyone help me out on split pdf files Based on Bookmark. I have 300 pages in one pdf and have 50 Bookmarks in that file. Bookmarks are random example 3-9, 10-16,17-23 and keeps on going. So Based on mark i want to separate 50 pdf file.

Thank you,
Gokul.

Hi @gokulvasant ,
In order to use Matches (Regex) you need a consistent pattern within the text.
Can you read the PDF into string and de-identify the result and share?
We can then try to assist with extracting the name. This could then be used a second workflow to split the PDF.
