I have a large pdf which contains few electrical drawings and each drawing has a name associated with it. For example it would say C.01 in the Conner of the drawing 1 or C.02 on the second drawing. So lets say the original big pdf is called civil amendment and so when i try to split the pdf into individual pages into a folder, all the pdf files are named civil amendment 1,2,3 and so on.
I would like to have all the individual pdf file to be named C.01, C.02 and so automatically respect to there drawings. Now I can change the name manually afterwards but if I have 50 files then it is a problem.
Is there anything i can do in acrobat 9 that will change the name of the files to like I mentioned above C.01, C.02 and so on automatically?
At the moment I am using acrobat 9 standard and if any higher version of acrobat like pro or something can do what I want the I don't mind buying it. Any advise please.
Splitting big PDF into individual pages with specific file names?

Assuming the names are just text on the drawing, then realistically the answer is no. Acrobat can split files and name the results using differentiators such as bookmarks, but it doesn't understand what the pages actually say. It's possible to write a script that locates the "n"th word on a page, but within a drawing object that doesn't work (plus you don't know how many words precede the one you want).

"Acrobat can split files and name the results using differentiators such as bookmarks" This can be helpful to some extent but some of the big pdf don't even have bookmarks. Is there a way to create bookmarks in the acrobat for all the pages automatically do I would have to do it individually? And can you please provide me the link for creating bookmarks inside big pdf file.

split the pdf in the normal way. rename the individual results using a file renaming utility, such as

Since REGEX is available in Acrobat* you should be able to find any "C.xx" char. string.
Then, by modifying a JavaScript like this one**, you should be able to catch the char. string and put it as filename or as "Title" metadata.
(This is just a guess, not tested…)
