Latenode

Split Google Drive documents into separate PDFs automatically

This template watches a Google Drive folder for new uploads, downloads each file, and splits the PDF with iLovePDF.

The resulting files are saved back to Drive. Use it to break a multi-page document into single-page PDFs. Connect Google Drive and iLovePDF, then point the trigger at the folder you want to watch.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
