Split PDF by page

Split PDF by page breaks a multi-page PDF into individual single-page PDF files. It's a deterministic, non-AI split — every page becomes its own file, in order.

Availability: GA

What it does

Input: one or more files (PDFs).
Output: one PDF file per page of each input file.
The transform does not inspect document content — it splits purely on page boundaries.

When to use it

You need one file per page for downstream processing, such as page-level review or archiving.
Your documents have a fixed, known page structure (for example, always one record per page).
You want to prepare pages for further processing with Extract PDF data or Extract PDF to Markdown on a per-page basis.

How to configure it

In the MFF builder, add a Split PDF by page node after the node that produces the PDF files. This transform has no configurable settings — just place it in the pipeline where you want the split to happen.

Example

Input

A 5-page PDF report.

Output

Five PDF files, each containing one page, named to preserve the original page order.

Troubleshooting

I need to split by logical section, not by page

Use Split PDF by content instead, which uses AI to detect section boundaries that don't align to a fixed number of pages.

Downstream steps expect a single file

If a later transform expects one file per document rather than one per page, reconsider whether Split PDF by page is the right step, or recombine before delivery.
