Splitting PDF files for upload

Projects sometimes receive a large volume of drawings as a single PDF. Often these drawings need to be tracked as individual documents within InEight. This leads to lost time in either sending them back to the contractor/designer to address this or splitting them out manually and uploading each individually.

This new functionality within XL Upload allows users to select files to be split into individual sheets automatically.

To split a PDF file that contains multiple pages into individual files:

1. From the XL-Upload tab, click Add files & Split.

   

2. Navigate to the location on your computer where the files are saved.

   

3. Select a PDF file that contains multiple pages (which need to be separated) and click Open.

4. The PDF is then split into individual files with the page numbers appended at the end of each file name.

   

5. The documents can then be uploaded as normal.
