# Split a PDF into page groups

Split a PDF document into page groups that you define, where each group becomes one output PDF, in your Power Automate flow.

Use this action to split a PDF document into page groups that you define, where each
group becomes one output PDF.

<PowerAutomateAction
  title="Split a PDF into page groups"
  caption="Split a PDF into page groups."
  connection="PDF Blocks Next"
  fields={[
    { label: "File Content", kind: "token", value: "File Content", required: true },
    { label: "Groups", placeholder: "The groups to split into, for example 2..8,29;1", required: true },
  ]}
/>

<ConnectorNotice kind="action" />

## Parameters

<ParamField name="File Content" type="File" required>
  The content of the input PDF document.
</ParamField>

<ParamField name="Groups" type="String" required>
  The groups to split into, separated by `;` (semicolon). Within a group, pages and
  ranges are separated by `,` (comma). Each group becomes one output PDF, in written
  order. For example, `2..8,29;1` produces two PDFs: the first with pages 2 through 8
  then 29, the second with page 1.
</ParamField>

## Response

This action returns a list of PDF documents. Add an **Apply to each** over the
**Documents** output to process every part.

<ParamField name="Documents" type="Array">
  The output PDF documents, in order. Each item has:

  - **File Name** — the name of the PDF document (`00001.pdf`, `00002.pdf`, and so on).
  - **File Content** — the content of the PDF document, which you can use as an input to other actions.
  - **Content Type** — the media type of the document (`application/pdf`).
</ParamField>
