PDF can be split and extracted easily using simple tools. In fact, you can even do this at home without any software, just by using the Print to PDF function in available programs. But splitting with this method provides limited action and can only be by page. But what if you need to split your PDF according to its content? Can you use a specific text to indicate where the pages separate? Though this looks impossible, it’s one of the great features of having a PDF converter available.

When do you need to split by text?
The act of splitting is specifically needed for the industries of finance, business and management. This is often used and seen when pages in the PDF have similar layout, has repeating content with some differences and those that are in a template. Examples of such includes payrolls, invoices, reports and receipts. The splitting that would occur can be based on the heading of the text, a keyword, invoice numbers, account number, names or titles. When using a splitter, the tool will use these keywords and divide the PDF into smaller pieces – not literally though but in terms of file size and number of pages, it will be separated.
