PDF Split & Rename FAQs
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. The document is read and generated inside your browser. The website downloads software libraries, and optional OCR downloads a language model, but your PDF content is not sent to us.
Can it split a multi-page document when the name appears only on page one?
Yes. Keep “Carry the last value forward” enabled. Blank continuation pages remain grouped with the most recent detected name or number.
Can it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes, enable OCR fallback. OCR is slower than normal text extraction and results depend on scan quality, language and document layout.
Can I change the filenames before downloading?
Yes. Every proposed filename is editable. The tool also warns about duplicate or empty names and can fix them automatically.
Is the PDF splitter really free?
Yes. There is no account, subscription or watermark. Donations are optional and help support maintenance and improvements.
