PAYSLIP- EXTRACT DATA FROM A PDF TO NAME THE FILE

Hello,

 

Everyweek we have download pdf payslips as one pdf(1000 pages), with the name of the employee in the exact location (top right of pdf). We use adobe to split the pdf by 1page. We then manually name the payslips by the emplyoee name. Is there a way to extract the name from the actual pdf and get it named during the splitting process?

 

I've seen videos online, showing this work, but the version of Adobe used looks older, is there perhaps a plug in or paid add in I can use for this service?

 

Thank you

This is usually possible to achieve using a custom-made script, yes. I've developed many similar tools for other clients in the past and would be happy to do the same for you (for a fee, of course).
