Using Acrobat X Standard and trying extract/separate a 131 page document into 131 individual pages.  The first page will extract but the rest result in a "Bad Parameter" code.    There are no tags or bookmarks. Does anyone know why this happens and if there a workaround for this issue?

I was trying to extract several pages from the document and kept getting the "bad parameter" message. I made a copy of the file and ran accessibility on it because I did a search that said there may be a problem with the tags. After I ran accessibility and autotagged the document, I tried extracting again and it worked! I will have to see if I can figure out exactly what caused the problem, but retagging the document helped in this instance.

I found a workaround:   Save file as .ps and re-open through the distiller and extract.
