Multipe Drawings in File, How do I address Each Singly?

Multipe Drawings in File, How do I address Each Singly? I am scanning 11x17 plans, sometimes 15-20 scanned at a time. When i open the folder in my Adobe XI, all the drawings are in one folder. How do I address each one on its own as I have to place them in a file that I will be extracting them from to do document control. I had been using ABBYY and it would allow me to pick one of the drawings in the folder, and each of the drawings in the folder a unique file name, so I could later extract them amd import them into my Doc control software. I appreciate any help! I am probably missing a simple step. I just need to be able to be efficient, without having to scan each drawing one at a time. I hope I explained this correctly!!  Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Greg,

If all of your scanned images are in 1 PDF, you can split it into multiple different files.

Go to Tools>Pages> Split Document> Select number of pages per document and OK.

If files are stored as single page document in a folder. You can open them as different PDFs. Select all files and drag them in Acrobat, it will give you a dialogue saying if you want to create

Hope it will resolve your issue. If not, please elaborate what exactly the issue is and the steps you are performing.
