Document Splitter skills are used to split a PDF file into separate documents or group unsorted pages from multiple files into documents. A Document Splitter skill uses the Splitter Script activity to decide whether a page is the first page of a new document based on its type and the data it contains. Unlike Document skills, Document Splitter skills can be created and edited only in Advanced Designer.

​
Use Cases

You can use a Document Splitter skill to:
  • Assemble pages into documents.
  • Separate annexes.
  • Determine a document’s type.
  • Re-order pages and remove blank pages.

​
Configuring a Document Splitter Skill

After you have created a Document Splitter skill on the start page, follow these steps to configure your skill:
  1. Click the settings button next to the skill name to view and adjust the skill settings.
  2. On the Documents tab, upload some documents.
  3. On the Activities tab, configure the document processing flow.
  4. Configure a Splitter Script activity and decide which number should be assigned to each page.
  5. On the Publish tab, publish your skill.
After configuring and publishing your Document Splitter skill, it will become available in the Skill Catalog in ABBYY Vantage.

​
Using Document Splitter Skills

A published Document Splitter skill can then be used in the Assemble activity of a Process skill in ABBYY Vantage.
