Split PDF by Bookmark for journalists
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets journalists and newsrooms split a PDF by bookmarks in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Splitting by bookmark divides a document at its chapter or section markers, producing one file per bookmarked section automatically.
Why journalists split a PDF by bookmarks
A journalist OCRs a scanned document dump so it's searchable, extracts key tables into a spreadsheet, and redacts a source's identifying details plus metadata before publishing.
Built for FOIA releases. Whether it's FOIA releases, leaked documents, reports, Arthize's split pdf by bookmark keeps the work inside your private workspace. Source protection is paramount; documents must be handled privately and metadata stripped before publishing.
What matters when you split a PDF by bookmarks
Splitting by bookmark uses the document's own structure to define the cuts.
It saves counting page ranges for chaptered documents.
Each section becomes its own file.
