Splitting Documents on the CMS

Only the application form and live deed should be archived as such on CMS. Where a supporting document has been included as part of  the APF or live deed, the document should be split into the separate deeds and the documents arranged correctly using the Reclassify function. See also - Merging Documents.

2. Save it to your desktop, or to your files, as a PDF.
3. Open ABBYY FineReader

4. Open your saved PDF from the same location where you saved it. 
5. Using the panel on the left, delete the pages that are not required. 
6. When all unnecessary pages have been deleted, save the updated document with a new name.

7. Attach the new document to the CMS as a supporting document. 
   1. Use the Reclassify function to change the new document to Live Deed or APF.
