Export Artboards to separate PDFs (Illustrator)


I was wondering if there's a way in Illustrator CC to export artworks containing multiple artboards, to multiple single-paged .pdf files, as Illustrator already does for images like .jpg files.


EDIT:


The plugin @Gramps mentioned is a valuable solution for those who don't need a precise control over PDF settings.


From what I can see from the plugin source code, the author set just this options for the exporter:


   [...] } else if ( this.format == 'PDF' ) {
options = new PDFSaveOptions();
options.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5;

options.generateThumbnails = true;
options.preserveEditability = false;

}

So my question moves just a little bit further, as I need precise control over PDF settings, to pursue high quality and printable vector .pdf filess.


Thanks.

Choose PDF as format (Press the settings icon to change preset).



Enter name into the Prefix window.


The name of the artboards should append after that name.
