A-PDF Content Splitter Service operates as a background Windows service, continuously monitoring user-defined folders for new or copied PDF files. Upon detection, it automatically splits these large PDF documents into smaller, individual PDF files. The unique aspect of this service is its ability to split files based on specific content and location within the PDF, using user-defined "split rules." These rules, created with the companion A-PDF Content Splitter desktop application, dictate how files are split and how the resulting output files are uniquely named. The service precisely locates positions, extracts and compares text, generating a new small file whenever the text differs according to the rule. This functionality is particularly beneficial for organizations handling large volumes of structured documents, such as invoicing, reporting, and payroll systems, where a single output file might contain thousands of individual records requiring extraction and distribution. It allows for dynamic naming of output files using text within the document and can even extract data to delimited files for storage. The service supports monitoring multiple hot directories simultaneously, each with different split rule settings, and offers three distinct split methods: splitting on unique text by word position, splitting on find text by word position, and splitting on unique text with output grouping. Furthermore, it provides flexible "split tags" and "macro tags" for dynamic naming and properties, with support for Pascal-scripting to transform and validate these tags, ensuring data integrity and customization. The software is designed for ease of use, allowing users to apply predefined rules to batch process PDF files efficiently, saving significant time and eliminating the need for manual splitting. As a standalone program, it offers a cost-effective solution, not requiring expensive third-party software like Adobe Acrobat Pro.
