Frequently asked questions about split by text
What kind of text can I split on?
Any recurring text that appears at the start of each document — an "Invoice #" label, an account number, a name, or similar.
Does it need to match exactly?
Yes, the match is based on the text you enter appearing on the page — make sure it's spelled and formatted the same way across the document.
Does this work on scanned PDFs?
Only if the scan already has a text layer — run OCR text first if it doesn't.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No — splitting happens locally, so your document is never uploaded.
