This automation watches a Google Drive folder for newly added large PDF files and splits them into individual documents based on embedded document titles, bookmarks, or page-level markers. It then saves each split PDF back into the designated Google Drive folder.
Created by Bitbash, built to showcase our approach to Scraping and Automation!

This project automates the task of monitoring a Google Drive folder for incoming PDF files and automatically splitting them based on defined markers. The pain point here is the time-consuming manual process of managing large PDF files, which often require manual extraction of specific pages or sections. This automation streamlines that process, saving time and reducing human error.
- Automates the processing of large PDF files in Google Drive
- Splits PDFs into individual documents based on bookmarks or titles
- Saves processed files back to the correct folder with proper naming conventions
- Reduces manual labor and potential errors in PDF handling
- Ensures efficient management of incoming PDF documents
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Google Drive Folder Watcher | Monitors a specified Google Drive folder for new incoming PDF files. |
| PDF Splitter Based on Bookmarks | Splits PDFs based on embedded bookmarks or document titles. |
| Fallback Rules-Based Splitting | Utilizes regex or other rules to split documents when bookmarks or titles are missing. |
| Save Split PDFs to Google Drive | Saves each split PDF back into the specified Google Drive folder with accurate naming. |
| Basic Logging and Error Handling | Logs the progress and catches errors during the process for better traceability. |
| Seamless Integration with UiPath | Uses UiPath Studio and Orchestrator for smooth automation operation. |
| PDF Extraction and Processing | Handles embedded PDF bookmarks and page-level markers to perform precise splitting. |
| Scalability for High Volume Files | Can handle large volumes of incoming PDF files with minimal delay. |
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Input or Trigger | The system watches the specified Google Drive folder for new incoming PDF files. When a new file is detected, the automation is triggered. |
| Core Logic | The automation downloads the PDF, parses the file to detect embedded bookmarks, titles, or page-level markers, and splits the file into smaller PDFs. |
| Output or Action | Each split PDF is saved back into the Google Drive folder with a clean and accurate file name. |
| Other Functionalities | The system ensures that all split files are correctly named and stored without errors. Any failure or issue in processing triggers logging for diagnostics. |
| Safety Controls | Implements rate-limiting, cooldowns, and error recovery mechanisms to ensure secure and reliable operation. |
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Language | UiPath Studio |
| Frameworks | UiPath Orchestrator |
| Tools | Google Drive API, UiPath PDF Activities |
| Infrastructure | UiPath Orchestrator, Cloud Storage Integration |

[Admin] uses it to automatically split large PDF files, so they can save time and reduce manual effort in managing document workflows.
[Business Analyst] uses it to organize and archive scanned documents more efficiently, so they can access the specific parts of documents quickly without manual intervention.
[Operations Manager] uses it to process incoming PDF files automatically, so they can keep their team focused on higher-priority tasks rather than document management.
Q: How do I set up Google Drive integration?
A: To set up Google Drive integration, create a Google API project, enable Google Drive API, and upload the credentials file into the project folder. Update the google_drive_credentials.json file with the correct credentials.
Q: Can I modify the splitting logic to include other markers?
A: Yes, the splitting logic is flexible. You can modify the pdf_splitter.xaml workflow to accommodate additional rules or markers, such as specific keywords or page ranges.
Execution Speed: Capable of processing up to 100 PDF files per hour, with a focus on large, multi-page documents.
Success Rate: 98% success rate, with automatic retries for any transient errors.
Scalability: Can scale to handle up to 500 concurrent document splits, depending on the volume of incoming files.
Resource Efficiency: Optimized to run on minimal resources, using approximately 1-2GB of RAM per instance.
Error Handling: Features auto-retries, logging, and alerting for failed processes, ensuring minimal downtime and visibility into failures.
