Test with one PDF before processing a large batch. Each split document is processed separately and uses its normal page-processing credits. **Split with AI** also costs an extra 1 credit per page being split. If the parser has **Pages to be parsed** enabled, DigiParser selects those pages first, and splitting and per-page charges apply only to that selected set.

See [Pages to be parsed](/docs/guides/parsers/parser-settings/pages-to-be-parsed) for page-selection examples and [Credits and Billing](/docs/guides/troubleshooting/credits-and-billing) for calculation examples. Need the same split rule for email, upload pages, and future uploads? See [Configure Split Documents](/docs/guides/parsers/parser-settings/split-documents).
