Processing PDF files embedding multiple invoices

Question

1. In my industry, we frequently deal with single invoices that span multiple pages (anywhere from 1-20 pages).
2. We have built a Document Intelligence model that successfully extracts the desired data from this "single invoice" pattern.
3. However, we often receive from our business partners PDF files that contain multiple of these multi-page invoices.

What is the recommended Azure/Power Platform-based tooling / pipeline to decompose these multi-invoice PDF files so that they can be processed by a "single invoice" Document Intelligence model?

Issue: Processing PDF files embedding multiple invoices

Solution: The right approach is to build a Logic Apps pipeline that uses a classification model to identify "multi-invoice" pdf files, and run them thru a sub-flow that extracts the individual invoices into separate pdf files to process through the custom extraction model.

If you have any other questions or are still running into more issues, please let me know.

Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.
