Split and rename PDFs based on content

Upload a batch of PDFs and Lido splits each one by content, then renames the output files based on what’s on the page.

  • Split by content. Lido reads each page and splits where the document type changes. By barcode, blank page, or content shift.
  • Rename by data. Each split file gets named based on extracted fields. Invoice number, patient name, case ID — you pick.
  • Route automatically. Named files go to the right folder, shared drive, or next workflow step. Same rules run on every batch.

How split and rename works in Lido

1

Upload

Drop a batch of PDFs or connect a watched folder.

2

Split by content

Lido reads each page and splits where the document type changes — by barcode, by blank page, or by detecting a new first page.

3

Rename by content

Each split file gets named based on data extracted from the page. Invoice number, date, vendor name, patient ID — you pick the fields.

4

Route

Named files go to the right folder, shared drive, or next workflow step.

Why automate this with Lido?

The manual version

Open a combined PDF. Scroll through to find where one document ends and the next begins. Split it by hand. Read the first page, figure out what to name it, type the filename, save. Repeat for the next document. Repeat for the next file in the batch.

The automated version

Drop the batch. Lido splits every file by content boundaries, reads each document, names it based on the fields you chose, and routes it to the right destination. Same rules run on every future batch.

Batch processing

Splitting is step one. Naming is step two. Both should be automatic.
