I have some scripts at members.shaw.ca/mactech that can split split and
merge PDF files. Depends on what approach you want to take. You could have
Quark create a separate Postscript file for each page and have Distiller
create single page PDF files from each one. Or you could create a PDF file
for each Quark doc and then break those down those into single page files.
Once you know which approach you want to take, it's not all that hard to do.
I wouldn't even bother scripting Distiller itself - just set up a Watched
Folder with the necessary job options.
There are some issues with getting Quark to properly save Postscript files
for Distiller - this list and the Quark forum on their website has numerous
discussion of it...
