Sourcefiles - How they work Any original document that is Split in SortSpoke is then known as the Sourcefile.
New documents created when a source file has been split into multiple document (via Split) will be assigned new filenames in the following format:
[sourcefilename]__Part_[x].pdf
Where:
[sourcefilename] is the exact filename of the original source file [x] is an integer that increments accordingly with each new document created
