Supported languages
searches existing Unicode text in any language when the PDF contains correct text mappings. It does not translate or run OCR. Matching ignores case, normalizes Unicode and collapses whitespace; spelling and accents must otherwise match.
How to use split pdf by text
1. Open a text-containing PDF
Choose a document with selectable text. For scanned invoices or letters, run OCR first.
2. Enter a boundary phrase
Enter the literal phrase that identifies the first page of each part. Matching ignores case and collapses whitespace.
3. Download all parts
Select Process PDF and download the ZIP. Each matching page starts a part; earlier pages are kept and no pages are discarded.
What this tool preserves
Matches literal text without case sensitivity. Pages before the first match are kept. Scans need OCR first.
Privacy and practical limits
Files stay on your device. Each input must be under 150 MB. Processing speed and memory use depend on your device. Keep original documents; PDF transformations do not preserve digital-signature validity.

Questions & answers
Which page starts the next PDF?
Each matching page starts a new part. Pages before the first match are kept in a separate first part. If a phrase occurs on consecutive pages, each starts a part.
Is the search case-sensitive?
No. Matching ignores letter case, normalizes Unicode and collapses whitespace. Other spelling and accent differences still matter.
Can it split invoices that are scanned images?
The pages need extractable text. Run OCR first, then enter a phrase that marks the beginning of each invoice.
Which languages are supported?
Language support: searches existing Unicode text in any language when the PDF contains correct text mappings. It does not translate or run OCR. Matching ignores case, normalizes Unicode and collapses whitespace; spelling and accents must otherwise match.
Is it really free?
