Split and rename invoices automatically

Lido splits combined invoice packets, names each file by vendor and number, and routes it.

  • Splits by invoice. A 30-page PDF with 8 invoices becomes 8 separate files automatically.
  • Names by content. Each file named with vendor, invoice number, and date. Zero manual typing.
  • Routes to your system. Named invoices go to vendor folders, ERP import, or approval workflows.

How invoice splitting and renaming works in Lido

Lido splits bulk invoice PDFs, reads each invoice, and names every file for your ERP or workflow.

1. Invoices arrive

Combined PDFs land in a shared inbox, watched folder, or direct upload. Lido picks them up automatically.

2. Boundaries detected

Each page is read. Lido detects where one invoice ends and the next begins by header changes, vendor shifts, or content patterns.

3. Each invoice named

Vendor name, invoice number, date, and amount are read from each split document. Files get named consistently: Acme_Corp_INV-2024-0847_2024-03-15.pdf.

4. Invoices routed

Each file goes to a vendor subfolder, ERP import queue, or approval workflow. Routing rules run on every batch.
