A mixed PDF often holds public chapters and annexes with personal data. Split PDF extracts only the relevant pages—aligned with GDPR minimization.
After splitting, anonymize each part with different detectors, re-merge already redacted pieces, or OCR only the scanned fragment. It is the natural pair of Merge PDF in the hub.
Processing is European and does not rely on external LLMs: a reorganization utility for privacy and operations.
