Patent_Application_PDF_Splitter(专利申请PDF文件拆分器)

Patent agents and process specialists in China who lack automated tools may face the challenge of splitting one patent application into 4 or 5 sub-documents during submission. To address this, I offer a straightforward command-line tool that can quickly divide these documents without the need for a complex setup.

1.Install Python3

2.Dependency

pip install PyPDF2

3.Usage

In this Python script, define the file path of your patent application PDF and the destination directories for the five segmented output files.

python Patent_Application_PDF_Splitter.py

FYI, Please pay close attention to the formatting of the sample application file. The spacing between keywords like "Specification"(说明书) and "Claims"(权利要求书) in the header is crucial for keyword recognition.
