Split PDF by Text Content

Split a PDF into separate files based on text markers found in the document. Useful for dividing large multi-document PDFs where each section starts with a known phrase or heading.

Enter the text marker to split on (e.g. "Chapter", "Invoice No").
Download the ZIP with separate PDFs per section.

Tips for best results

The split occurs at every page where the marker text is found.
The search is case-insensitive by default.
