Why Split PDF activity is not coming in Uipath latest version 2026.0.182STS?

[vignesh_S.M]

I have searched for a split PDF activity in UiPath but it’s not displaying . Why?

Is there any alternative for splitting up a merged PDF into 2 separate PDF docs?

UiPath does not have a dedicated Split PDF activity.PDF splitting is achieved using Extract PDF Page Range, which allows creating separate PDFs by specifying start and end pages.This activity can be used in loops and combined with keyword detection logic for intelligent document splitting.

UiPath is gradually deprecating Classic activities, which is why Split PDF is not available in Modern PDF activities.

Because of this, the recommended approach is to use Modern PDF activities instead.

Suggested solution (Modern approach)

1. Use Get PDF Page Count to get the total number of pages in the PDF.
2. Use Extract PDF Page Range (Modern) to extract the required pages.

• If the page range is already known, you can directly specify it in the Range property (for example: 1-5 or 6-10).
• If the split needs to be dynamic (for example, splitting the PDF into two halves), you can build the range using an expression like:

“(Math.Ceiling(PageCount / 2.0)).ToString() & “-” & PageCount.ToString()”

This dynamically calculates the second half of the PDF and works reliably with different page counts.

Extract pdf page range is what you need to use

Hi @vignesh_S.M

You can use extract pdf range activity and specify the range to get your output.

Cheers happy new year!
