Split pdf

Description

The Split PDF activity divides an uploaded PDF into multiple smaller files based on the specified Start Page and End Page. Each output file contains one page from the selected range and is saved as a separate PDF.

This activity is ideal for use cases such as separating multipage invoices, forms, contracts, or reports into individual documents.

Use case:
An HR team receives a 50-page scanned document containing 50 resumes. The Split PDF activity is configured with Start Page = 1 and End Page = 50 to extract each resume into a separate PDF file for further classification or processing.
