Split PDF into Pages

How it works

1. The node first determines the total number of pages in the PDF.
2. It then extracts each page in parallel as a separate single-page PDF.
3. The node outputs N items — one per page — each with:
   • A binary field (data) containing the single-page PDF.
   • A JSON field page with the page number (starting at 1).
   • A JSON field totalPages with the total number of pages.

Split a PDF into individual pages

1. Open a new n8n workflow and add a node that provides a PDF (e.g. HTTP Request, Read Binary File, or Webhook).
2. Add the PDF Toolkit node and select Resource: PDF → Operation: Split Pages.
3. Choose your input type:
   • Binary: select the binary field that holds the PDF (default: data).
   • URL: paste the URL of the PDF file.
4. Optionally set an Output Filename Prefix (default: page) — output files will be named page_1.pdf, page_2.pdf, etc.
5. Execute the workflow — you will receive one item per page downstream.
