## Why bookkeepers split a PDF by bookmarks

A bookkeeper converts PDF bank statements to Excel to reconcile the month, merges receipts into a single file, and compresses the package to send to the client — privately.

**Built for bank statements.** Whether it's bank statements, receipts, ledgers, Arthize's split pdf by bookmark keeps the work inside your private workspace. Client financial records must be processed privately and never retained by an outside service.

## 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.
