I'm using the Encodian Power Automate connector to OCR and split bundled invoices from a PDF.

I wonder if the split result could be named with the invoice number instead of 0001, 0002 etc..

  Hi Juliana,

  Thanks for your feature request. I understand you may want this included in the Split PDF action to keep things simple however its worth noting you can already do this post the split action.

  You could loop through each file in the returned array of documents, extract the information you want to rename the files too (in this case the invoice number) and use that value in the Filename property of the create file action (or other action you are using to process the split file contents).
  
  To extract the data, you could use:

  • Encodian's Extract Text from Regions action if the data is always in the same spot
  • Encodian's Get PDF Text Layer action + Utility - Search Text (Regex) to parse the text
  • Microsoft's AI Builder tools
