How to insert page breaks

I have saved an HTML file as a PDF, I now would like to insert page breaks at specific points in the PDF where common language delineates the beginning of a a new report.

For example the PDF has a full set of reports that all begin with the common language "XYZ is submitting this report to you".  You may have 35 reports in the full set and some reports begin mid-page of the HTML or PDF.  However, I would like to break the whole into "chunks" where the beginning of each report starts.

Then the "chunks" will be saved individually.

I have attempted just working with the HTML to WORD, but due to carryover hidden HTML code, the document goes from 40 pages to over a thousand.

Personally, I would edit the html file in a text editor if you have some familiarity with html. Breaking up the html file into 35 smaller files shouldn't be that difficult. If you don't have familiarity with html, but have Dreamweaver you might be able to break it into smaller chunks more easily than Word. If you do not mind the size of the pages being different, you can break up the pdf file into 35 pages where necessary (duplicating transition pages), then crop the parts you don't want.

You might try saving the PDF to a DOC file and see if that gives you an adequate document to work with. WORD used to allow the editing of HTML files that could then be saved as DOC files. I am not a big word user, but that might be something to look at more carefully.
