I recommend you install pdftk and use it (you can resort to "do shell
script" from an AppleScript if you aren't comfortable with raw UNIX
scripting).

You can get pdftk here:

http://www.accesspdf.com/article.php/20041130153545577

If you'll browse around you'll see lots of horror stories about how
hard it is to get pdftk to work on a Mac, involving downloading and
building gcc from scrratch in order to get a version of gcj that you
can use oto build pdftk . . . but that's old news.  The page above has
a link to a disk image with an installer for pdftk that just works (on
Panther and 10.4.1, at least; not 10.4.0).  Just use

     pdftk file.pdf burst

And voila - one pdf file per page.
