I need to split documents using Top Level Bookmarks, but when I choose "The Same Folder Selected at Start", my option to "Use bookmark names for file names" greys out....I need both of these.

I had the same problem until I found this. It solved my issue when I changed Preferences for Security (Enhanced).

This just started happening to me as well. I have no clue why this feature changed. I have to manually put in the folder name that I want to use each time I split my PDFs now. Hope this is fixed soon.

I am having the same issue. I used to be able to have the target folder be the same folder selected and start while also splitting by top level bookmark and using the bookmark as the file name. What the hell...

What's the exact version number of the application (You can find it out by going to Help - About Adobe Acrobat)? What's your OS version?
