# Split PDF V2

## **Description**

The **Split PDF V2** activity splits one or more PDF files into smaller PDF files. It supports splitting every page, splitting a selected page range into individual page files, or splitting the document into fixed-size page chunks.

### **Supported Features**

- **All pages mode**: Creates one PDF per page.
- **Range pages mode**: Creates one PDF per page inside a configured start/end range.
- **Chunk mode**: Creates one PDF per chunk of pages.
- **Chunk range mode**: Applies chunking only within a configured page range.
- **Multiple input files**: Processes each file independently.
- **Partial success**: Returns created files even when some files or pages fail.

| Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Files | Yes | PDF files to split. |

### **Input Scenarios**

#### **1. Split Every Page**

```json
{
  "Files": [
    { "FileName": "catalog.pdf", "FullPath": "C:/Work/catalog.pdf" }
  ]
}
```

#### **2. Split A Page Range**

Use `RangePages` with `StartPage` and `EndPage`.

#### **3. Split Into Chunks**

Use `Chunk` with `ChunkSize`. Optionally enable `SplitByRange` to chunk only part of the file.

## **Configuration Fields**

| Field Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Split mode | Dropdown | Yes | Split strategy. Options: `AllPages`, `RangePages`, `Chunk`. Default is `RangePages`. |
| Start page | Number | Conditional | First page to split when `Mode` is `RangePages`. Pages are 1-based. |
| End page | Number | Conditional | Last page to split when `Mode` is `RangePages`. If greater than the document page count, it is capped to the last page. |
| Chunk size | Number | Conditional | Number of pages per output file when `Mode` is `Chunk`. Values less than 1 are treated as 1 by execution logic. |
| Split by range | Boolean | Conditional | Available in `Chunk` mode. When enabled, chunking is limited to `StartingPage` through `EndingPage`. |
| Start page | Number | Conditional | First page of the chunking range when `SplitByRange` is enabled. |
| End page | Number | Conditional | Last page of the chunking range when `SplitByRange` is enabled. |

### **Conditional Field Rendering Rules**

- **Start page** and **End page** are shown when **Split mode** is `RangePages`.
- **Chunk size** and **Split by range** are shown when **Split mode** is `Chunk`.
- The chunk range **Start page** and **End page** are shown when **Split by range** is `true`.
