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

[artworkphx]

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

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?

Thanks,

How many page did you specify?  See screenshot.

When you select to split by bookmarks the number of pages option is disabled...

[artworkphx]

That is not an option when you select Split By: "Top Level Bookmarks".  There are 79 pages.

Can you share the file in question? Are your bookmarks the top-level ones? If not, you would need to do it using a script.

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
