Split PDF and rename based on content, without the busywork
Most splitters cut a PDF by page numbers and give you page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf and so on. SplitByText reads the text in the area you choose on every page, starts a new file whenever that text changes, and uses it as the file name. A 300-page batch becomes 150 correctly named files in seconds instead of an afternoon of copy, paste and rename.
Private by design
Your document never leaves your computer. The split happens with open-source PDF tools running inside this page, so it is safe for payslips, report cards, contracts and statements.
