Split PDF by Text in Power Automate: Turn One Scanned Batch into Separate Files with PDF4me

· 23 min read

PDF4me Split PDF by Text is a Power Automate action that cuts one PDF into several files wherever a text marker appears. This flow watches a SharePoint folder, splits each new scan on a Serial#: marker, then loops the results into Dropbox. One batch scan becomes three named files, with no manual page picking.

Anyone who runs a scanner knows the problem. Somebody drops a stack of documents in the feeder, hits scan once, and you get back a single PDF holding twenty unrelated records. Every online splitter on the first page of Google will happily fix that, as long as a human uploads the file, clicks through a page picker, and downloads the pieces. That is fine once. It is not fine when the scanner runs every morning. This flow removes the human from the loop entirely.

The flow at a glance
1. When a file is created in a folder
SharePoint trigger watching /Shared Documents/ScanSplitInput.
2. PDF - Split PDF by Text
PDF4me cuts the scan before every page carrying the Serial#: marker.
3. For each
Loops over body/splitedDocuments, once per split file.
4. Create file
Dropbox writes each piece into /ScanSplitOutput under its own name.
