Multi-page PDF to multiple single-page PDFs

[mofakiii]

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there knows a way, if you have a multi-page PDF, to export each individual page to it's own single-page PDF.  Is there a way to do this in Acrobat?

Or is there a way in Microsoft Word using Adobe's PDF print driver, to print each page to it's own single-page PDF?

Ultimately I want to run a batch process on each PDF page in Illustrator, but for me to do that each page needs to be it's own PDF.

Thanks for any help!!!!

Something that may help -

With a multi-page PDF open in Acrobat Pro; select Document > Extract Pages
In the Extract Pages dialog you can select "Extract Pages As Separate Files".
This will provide you with a PDF file for each page of the source PDF file.
Additional options are also possible.
In a thread at AUC, Thom Parker identifies these.

Try Document>Extract Pages. I think this allows the option you are requesting. I am on the wrong machine to check right now.

DESPERATELY NEED THE SAME FUNCTION - Adobe Pro does NOT do it.

Adobe pro does not - cannot, will not, has no capacity or programming to - export, or in any way create, single page txt files from a mulitpage pdf.  I need to do that too for the presentation program I use and for the other legal software programs.  I was online and on the phone with tech support for Adobe for hours and days and refused to hang up when they ad nausium repeared how I can get single page tiffs and extract to single page pdfs, then export to single page txt - well no kidding!  I want - and NEED - to take a multi page pdf and export to single page tiffs with correlating songle page txt files.  Doing it one by one is a tedius no brainer.

If you figure out how, please email me at kolohepuppy@yahoo.com

Single page Text files is a different issue, but probably can be done with a Batch sequence.

In a plain text file the concept of pages doesn't play a role. It's all a

question of how you define it...

This is incorrect.  You can take a multi-page PDF and turn it into single page TIFF files with associated text files.  You need to upload the "TIFF-Text" batch processing sequence.  If you google that, you will find a file that you will then save to your system along with directions.  Then you go into batch processing and make some changes.  Once you run the program, you will have single TIFF and single TEXT pages.  You will then need to upload the Adobe Bridge program (free if you only use it for batch renaming) and rename your documents to what you want them with (batch processing automatically starts with page zero). 

If you have issues with the text files not containing the text, you may either need to OCR your documents or add an OCR step to your batch processing.

This works great for Trial Director.
