Problem

Large PDFs often contain many logical documents, exhibits, or sections that need separate routing.

Use

Create multiple output PDFs from fixed ranges, explicit page selections, or reusable split rules.

Evidence plan

What this unlocks

  • Split a PDF into multiple files by page ranges
  • Run from the document workspace once signed in
  • Available for repeatable batch or pipeline workflows

Common use cases

  • Separate exhibits by page range
  • Extract a subset for external review
  • Create smaller files from a large packet

Workflow steps

  1. 1Choose fixed ranges or explicit page selections
  2. 2Preview the split outputs
  3. 3Download the generated PDFs or save them back to the workspace

Outputs

  • Split PDF set
  • Range manifest
  • Output artifact bundle

Review checks

  • Preview boundaries before running
  • Confirm no pages are skipped
  • Name outputs predictably for downstream systems
