How it works
Upload
Drop your PDFs or connect a folder. Lido watches for new files and splits them as they arrive.
Set your rules
Split by page range, every N pages, by barcode, by blank page separator, or by text content on the page. Rules run automatically on every file.
Route the output
Split files get named, organized, and sent where they need to go. Into extraction, into a shared drive, into your ERP. No manual step in between.
Why teams switch from free PDF splitters
The free tool trap
Free browser tools make you upload one PDF at a time, click through a UI, download the result, rename it, and move it somewhere. Multiply that by the number of files your team handles per week.
The Lido approach
Lido handles the full pipeline: split the files, name them, and put them where they belong. When a new batch arrives next week, the same rules run again automatically.

Common use cases
Vendor invoice packets
Vendors send one PDF with 30 invoices stapled together. Lido splits by barcode or blank page separator, then feeds each invoice into extraction.
Multi-page bank statements
Monthly statement PDFs that need to be split by account. Each account's pages route to the right reconciliation workflow.
Scanned document batches
A scanner produces one long PDF from a stack of mixed documents. Lido splits by blank page and classifies each resulting file.
EOB and remittance packets
Insurance companies send combined EOBs. Lido splits by patient or claim number and routes each to the right record.
Set up your first splitting rule in under 5 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How does Lido split PDFs?
You set rules for how files should be split: by page range, every N pages, by barcode, by blank page separator, or by text content on the page. When you upload PDFs (or they arrive automatically from a connected folder), Lido applies your rules and outputs individual files.
Can I split hundreds of PDFs at once?
Yes. Lido processes files in batch. Drop a folder of PDFs and every file gets split according to your rules. There is no per-file upload limit.
What happens to the split files?
Split files can be sent to a shared drive, fed into Lido’s data extraction, renamed automatically, or routed to an external system. You configure the destination once and it runs on every batch.
Is this different from SmallPDF or Adobe Acrobat?
Those tools work well for splitting one PDF manually. Lido is built for teams that need to split files in bulk and route the results into a workflow automatically. No browser tab, no manual downloading and renaming.
Can I split by barcode or QR code?
Yes. Lido detects barcodes and QR codes on pages and uses them as split points. This is common for invoice packets and shipping documents where each document starts with a barcode.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Lido runs in the browser. You can also connect it to a watched folder so files get split automatically as they arrive.
