Split PDF by Text

Batch-generated PDFs from ERP systems often concatenate hundreds of similar documents with a repeated header line marking each new record. Split by Text locates those markers and exports one file per occurrence, automating work that would take hours manually.

Siliph Split by Text runs pattern matching in the browser-backed pipeline with encrypted uploads. You specify case sensitivity and whether the match must appear at the start of a line, reducing false splits on body copy that mentions the same word incidentally.

Text-based splitting requires selectable text on the page; run OCR PDF first on scanned stacks so headings become machine-readable. Each output file names itself with the matched snippet when possible for easier filing.

Files auto-delete within two hours on the free tier, and no signup is required. Pair with Merge PDF when some extracted segments must be recombined after manual review.

When bookmarks already exist, Split by Bookmarks may be more reliable; use Split by Text when producers never added outline metadata.

Siliph split tools divide PDFs by range, bookmark, size, or text trigger entirely in the browser with encrypted transfers at each step. Generated parts are auto-deleted within two hours on the free plan, and splitting starts immediately without signup.
