Split and name permit drawings in San Diego, California
We have not reviewed San Diego's published filename rules.
Accela Citizen Access portal is a common e-plan system in this area, but that is a general observation, not a statement about what San Diego requires. Get the naming pattern, sheet format, and submittal stage from your building department's own handout, then enter that pattern in Permit Prep.
Permit Prep does the mechanical part: it reads a combined plan set in your browser, finds the sheet number and title on each page, and writes one named PDF per drawing sheet. Nothing leaves your device.
