I've a PDF file that has 1000 pages in it. Each page has account number in it.

How do I split the document into 1000 single page document and rename the file to the account number listed in that page.

I am able to split 1000 single page pdf's but don't know how to rename get the account number and rename each document.

I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you

    I've found a workaround to accomplish this.

    1. Exported the Master document's book mark into a SQL Table

    2. Split the document in to single page document.

    3. Through a script the single page documents have been renamed..

    Thanks for all your suggestions.

      That might be possible using a custom-made script, but it's impossible to say for sure without seeing some sample pages.

      If you wish you can send them to me to try6767 at gmail.com and I'll let you know if I think it's doable or not, and if so, how much it will cost to develop such a script.

        It's a Form1098. After the split, the documents should renamed with Account number.

        Let me know if you still need a sample file, I will send it to you

        Thank you

        Hi,

        In Acrobat DC (the version I use), there are very few options for renaming split pages and all of them use the original filename or named bookmarks as the root.

        Example 1:

             filename- part1.pdf

             filename- part2.pdf

        Example 2:

             bookmark1.pdf

             bookmark2.pdf

             etc....

        Example 3:

             part1-filname.pdf

             part2-filename.pdf.

          Thanks Nancy,

          I did the same, but my question is how to rename the documents (which were separated from the master document) by getting a value from it.

          Thank you

          Assuming the account numbers are sequential, you could append that to the filename with a bulk rename utility.

          Bulk Rename Utility

          I have used this one for years and years on Windows platform.

          It's free, lightweight, has lots of options & very easy to use.
