I work with drawing files, a single pdf can have 0-500 drawing sheets with in the single pdf. I use a take-off program OnScreen take-off that will convert the pfd into seperate tiff files, when this happens all of the files have the same name so i have to rename the files individally so that I know where to find a specific sheet.  The PDF's sometimes have bookmarks that are actually the sheet names, is there a way to split the document and rename the individual files as the bookmark name? I spend / waste 1/2 my day renaming files. please help.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply, I tried what you suggested and I must be doing something wrong. 

1. Before I choose split should I select all?

2. When I choose output options then "The Same FolderSelected at Start" I'm not alled to choose " Use Bookmarks names for file names. if i choose a folder on my computer I am able to choose use bookmark names for file names. Then I choose ok. 

3. Do I choose Split after?

when I do and go to view the files  there's one file in the folder named sheets.

What am I doing wrong?
