Copilot in SharePoint: Split, Merge PDFs

Key insights

• Copilot in SharePoint now offers native PDF actions that let you work with PDFs directly in SharePoint and OneDrive.
  Key operations include Merge and Extract/Split, while Reorder is reported but not clearly documented yet.
• How it works: open a PDF in your document library, choose the More options (…) menu, pick Merge or Extract, select files or pages, and save the new PDF.
  The flow keeps you inside SharePoint or OneDrive without downloading files to other tools.
• Benefits: reduce manual file handling, improve organization, and make documents easier to share and manage.
  Smaller, focused files also help Copilot find and summarize content more reliably.
• Licensing and supported types: the feature requires an appropriate per-user, pay-as-you-go, or SharePoint-inclusive subscription.
  Supported content includes PDF, TXT, RTF, and Loop/Fluid formats for agent workflows.
• Limitations and gaps: Microsoft documents Merge and Extract officially, but Reorder lacks clear official confirmation.
  Very large or complex files can reduce Copilot retrieval accuracy, so test with your content before relying on automation.
• Practical tip: use Copilot to pull specific sections—for example, extract pricing pages from a large RFP into a new PDF.
  Keep files focused and split when needed to speed workflows and improve AI results.
