When I tried to use variable, I created action "PDF" to save the file as .pdf file. But when I ran the action for batch, all data sets just were saved respectively in 1 pdf file??

Help :((

Hi Tina,

I really appreciate your help! I managed to solve the issue by renaming the file (removing the spaces and special characters), and thankfully, it worked.

Thanks again, and have a great day!

You can open the pdf file in Acrobat, and then go to Organize Pages > Split.

 

It will split it into individual files, and you can choose the output options. The only downfall of this is if you open each new individual page in Illustrator, it still keeps the other art boards / work, so if you want smaller file sizes, you'll just need to delete the excess in each file (but you don't need to otherwise).
