Hi Steve,
You can split the multi-page PDF into separate EPS files using 'Save As' and
selecting 'Encapsulated PostScript'. Make sure you set the 'Page Range' to
'All' in the 'Settings'.
If you create all the EPS files into a folder, it would be fairly simple to
write a script to rename them as you wish (by default they're named
'filename_1.eps', etc).
You can use Distiller (or whatever you use) to turn the EPS's to PDF's.
HTH,
Simon
