Advice on Splitting PDF into PDFs grouped by shared text

Posted on by

Any advice on this would be appreciated! I'm a newbie to Power Automate and Flows, though have watched a lot of tutorial content. I haven't seen a guide for exactly what I'm looking to do, so was hoping an experienced user could provide some advice.

 

What I need to do is split a PDF into smaller PDFs grouped by entity ID numbers that are on each page. I can't go an split on an increment because some entities have more pages of data that others. Generally the PDF will be about 700 pages and will be split into about 300 PDFs grouped by entity. Currently this is a labor intensive process, and automating would be incredible.

 

I'm looking into doing it with an Encodian split PDF by text action, but that requires the text is provided. What I need is a way to identify which pages have the same ID and group those into PDFs.

 

Does anyone have any experience doing something similar?
