"We have been using Evermap's PDF AutoSplit plugin to split one large PDF into smaller ones based on specific text appearing on a page, and extracting text from a set location on that page to use as the filename. It is ridiculously successful and most definitely top of it's game.

Standard vs. Pro — what's the difference?

AutoSplit Pro includes every feature of AutoSplit Standard, plus batch processing with Acrobat's Guided Actions (formerly Action Wizard), command-line automation from BAT files and PowerShell, and split-by-separator methods. These methods split a PDF where text at a specific location changes, where text matches a pattern, at blank pages, where page orientation or size changes, at pages with specific keywords, and at pages with stamps.

FAQ

Common questions

What is AutoSplit?

AutoSplit is a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat that adds tools for splitting, merging, extracting, cleaning up, renaming, and automating PDF documents. It installs into Acrobat and works from Acrobat's Plug-ins menu.

Which versions of Adobe Acrobat and Windows are supported?

AutoSplit works with Adobe Acrobat X, XI, and DC through 2026, in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, on Windows 8–11 and Windows Server 2012–2022.

Does AutoSplit work on Mac or with the free Acrobat Reader?

No. AutoSplit runs on Windows only and requires the full version of Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro. It does not work on macOS or with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

How can AutoSplit split a PDF into multiple files?

AutoSplit can split PDFs by bookmarks, page count, page ranges, blank pages, page size or orientation, keywords, or text patterns. Each section is saved as a separate PDF file.

Can AutoSplit create folders that match the bookmark structure?

Yes. When splitting by bookmarks, AutoSplit can create folders on disk that mirror the document's bookmark tree, so output files are organized automatically.

Can AutoSplit split a PDF at pages marked with stamps?

Yes. AutoSplit Pro can split a document at pages that carry stamp annotations, so reviewers can mark the first page of each document with a stamp and split the file in one step.

Can AutoSplit split scanned PDFs by text?

Yes, as long as the scanned PDF contains searchable text. For image-only scans, run Acrobat's text recognition (OCR) first, then use any text-based splitting, extraction, or naming method.

Can AutoSplit split a PDF where an invoice number or customer name changes?

Yes. AutoSplit Pro can start a new file wherever specific text appears or changes, such as an invoice number, customer name, or account number. This separates large files with variable-length documents like invoices, statements, and reports.

Can AutoSplit name the split files automatically?

Yes. Output files can be named using any combination of text from the page, bookmarks, document metadata, Bates numbers, custom text, and auto-incrementing numbers.

Can AutoSplit take filename text from a specific location on the page?

Yes. You can define an area on the page, such as the corner where an invoice number or Bates number appears, and AutoSplit uses the text found there to name each output file.

Can AutoSplit rename existing PDF files using their content?

Yes. AutoSplit renames PDF files in bulk using text from documents, metadata, page labels, or Bates numbers. A lookup table can turn codes found in documents, such as a client ID, into readable names, and every name can be reviewed before files are renamed.

Can AutoSplit merge PDF, Word, Excel, and image files?

Yes. AutoSplit combines PDF, Microsoft Office, and image files into one or more PDFs, with bookmarks and a table of contents generated automatically. It can merge each folder into its own PDF, group files with similar filenames, follow a control file or spreadsheet list, and append or interleave pages.

Can AutoSplit merge double-sided scans into one PDF?

Yes. AutoSplit can interleave the odd-page and even-page scan files and reverse the page order of the even-page file during the merge, producing one document with pages in the correct order.

Does merging keep existing bookmarks and links?

Yes. AutoSplit transfers bookmarks from the input documents and updates links so they point to the correct pages in the merged document.

Does splitting keep existing bookmarks and links?

Yes. AutoSplit transfers bookmarks from the input document and updates links so they point to the correct pages in the split documents.

Can AutoSplit extract, delete or replace pages that contain specific text?

Yes. AutoSplit can extract, delete or replace pages containing keywords or text patterns, such as names, account numbers, or SSNs. It can also extract bookmarked sections and pages with comments, stamps, or form fields.

Can AutoSplit extract attachments from PDF Portfolios?

Yes. AutoSplit can extract file attachments from PDF Portfolios and PDF packages, and export metadata for the portfolio items.

Can AutoSplit remove blank and duplicate pages?

Yes. AutoSplit deletes blank pages from regular and scanned PDFs, and finds duplicate and near-duplicate pages, even when they contain only images, checking thousands of pages in seconds.

Can AutoSplit divide large pages into smaller ones?

Yes. AutoSplit can divide large PDF pages into multiple smaller pages, for example splitting an A2 page into A4 pages.

Can AutoSplit process many PDF files at once?

Yes. AutoSplit Pro adds its tools to Acrobat's Guided Actions for batch processing (Acrobat Pro required), and can run from command-line BAT files, PowerShell, or Python scripts for unattended, scheduled jobs.

Can AutoSplit run from a script or BAT file?

Yes. Command-line BAT files, PowerShell scripts, or Python scripts can call many AutoSplit operations. Requires AutoSplit Pro.

Does AutoSplit Pro support Acrobat's Guided Actions tool for automation?

Yes. AutoSplit exposes many of its operations to Guided Actions. Requires AutoSplit Pro and Acrobat Pro.

Can I save my settings and reuse them later?

Yes. Splitting and merging settings can be saved to a file and loaded again later. Settings files can also be shared with coworkers so everyone uses the same processing setup.

Can AutoSplit watch a folder and process new files automatically?

Yes. A watched folder monitors incoming files and automatically renames, converts to PDF, optimizes, or watermarks them as they arrive.

Does AutoSplit upload my documents or use AI?

No. All processing happens locally on your computer, and AutoSplit works fully offline. Documents are never uploaded, analyzed by AI, or used to train models.

What is the difference between AutoSplit Standard and Pro?

Pro version adds splitting by separators (pages where text changes), batch processing with Guided Actions, and command-line automation from BAT files and scripts.

How is AutoSplit licensed?

AutoSplit is licensed per user with a one-time license fee. Discounted volume licenses are available, including unlimited enterprise-wide site licenses.

Can government agencies purchase AutoSplit through NASA SEWP?

Yes. EverMap is SAM-registered and is an approved provider under the NASA SEWP V contract vehicle, so agencies can purchase AutoSplit through standard federal procurement channels.
