Providing specific products and details explains how you actually solved this problem in your professional experience, which is the platonic ideal of Stack Exchange answers, basically. The fact it also happens to make a particular company or product or whatever look good is 1) a side effect and 2) not a bad thing. | |

Instead you can consider not linking to the service (!) or even simply not writing their name "We use an online service to separate the PDF pages [...]" | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 23:19 | comment | added | JeffE | I've been doing exactly this in 400-student classes with 8-page long-answer exams for a couple of years now. The extra time to scan, upload, partition, and identify the exams (a few hours with a finicky scanner) is more than paid for by the efficiency of parallel online grading and on-the-fly rubric adjustment, with no worries about losing paper, recording or tabulation errors, or post-grading modification. Highly recommended. [I have no affiliation with Gradescope except as a satisfied customer.] | |
