About Split PDF by Text Marker

Text marker splitting is useful when a PDF bundle contains repeated documents such as invoices, statements, certificates, or chapter packets. Instead of typing every page range manually, you can use a phrase that appears at the start of each section.

The tool reads selectable PDF text in the browser, highlights pages that contain the marker, and lets you adjust which pages should start a new output file. The marker page stays with its section, and the output downloads as a ZIP of page-range PDFs.

This first version does not run OCR, so image-only scans need OCR before text can be detected. For scanned bundles with blank separator pages, use Split PDF at Blank Pages; for fixed-length packets, use Split PDF Every N Pages.
