Extract PDF construction drawings file to individual pages with bookmarks file name

Adobe Pro DC

I am new to Adobe Pro DC so please excuse if question not formated correctly.

I would like to extract construction drawing pages from a single file and save them with the name that is shown in the bookmarks pane i.e. ( A1.2 floor plan, S1.2 foundation plan) instead of the automatic sequential numbering 1,2,3.....

I have gone through the tutorials on splitting, extracting but have not been able to get the files saved with the bookmarks name.

Thanks

I could share but too large to attach.  How do I tell top-level?

Open the Bookmarks panel. You'll see that they are all nested under a top-level bookmark called "Sheets".

You need to move them from there to the top-most level and then delete the empty "Sheets" bookmark for it to work.

Alternatively, you can use this tool I've developed, which will extract the bookmarks at the lowest-level as individual files, and will name those files based on the names of the bookmarks: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Extract Lowest-Level Bookmarks

Go to Tools - Pages - Split Document and then select "Top-level Bookmarks". Click on Output Options and select "Use bookmark names for file names", and you're done!

I have done that twice and I just get a new file named Sheets with all the pages in one file.

What am I doing wrong?
