Automated PDF Splitter/ Document Archiver

Hi,

 

I’m building an automation to archive forms that are hand-signed. These forms need to be hand-signed and archived due to government regulations. The forms are scanned all at once and exported as PDFs.
 
Within the automation, the PDF is split using the Adobe PDF splitter. With AI, I’m trying to read the text inside the documents. All the documents have a specific tag. The flow is working but is extremely slow. Processing 16 one-page forms took 1.5 hours to complete.
 
Does anyone have an idea how to make this flow faster? If it took 15 minutes, it wouldn’t be an issue, but 1.5 hours is a bit too much.
 
Thank you for your input!

    What does your flow look like?
    It shouldn’t take that long

    Try using Azure Logic Apps for more complex, highly scalable automations.
    Pre-process PDFs outside of Power Automate (e.g., with a Python script for splitting and OCR, then pass results back to Power Automate).
