So glad to see so many people of a similar mindset – would be such a timesaver. Thanks to the Anonymous's workaround that has kinda helped me on a few docs but a fully integrated feature would be awesome

This so needs to happen. It would be great to create a stationery template and change the address 5 times. Name the page per address and then export 5 NAMED pdf's. would be incredibly useful for mock up work.

Looking for the same thing, but with hundreds of location names. The location name is a field in the file and is different for every page. e.g. Sacramento, Red Hill, Canyon, etc. Can you grab that field data and place it as the suffix?

Thank you,
Erich

Yes yes! This would be so incredibly useful!

For now I sometimes solve the need by having a hidden layer on each page with a very large page name written on top of the content.
When I need to see the page names I then turn on the hidden name layer, and with my thumbnails set to large/jumbo, I can easily see the names in the pages list.
It works, but it is a very clumsy and not at all a ideal solution.

Adobe, please add this feature! :)

I neither have mac nor wrote scripts for it, but you can try

I am using a mac is there a way this script can be used on that platform also?

Yes, please

@Greg yes, I have a script for this task.
I used it to handle multiple formats and DPI, so it's more complicated.
Rename .txt to .jsx and have fun

Please make the change, Adobe!

Here is a workaround that worked for my situation - where each page is treated like a separate document:

1. Right-click on the page in the Pages panel.
2. Select Numbering and Section Options...
3. Make sure the "Start Section" box is selected.
4. Enter the page name in the Section Prefix field. You are limited to 8 characters. In my case, I entered "EN_" for English.
5.. Repeat the process for additional pages.

In my document, this is how they display. Not ideal for all documents, and will obviously affect automatic page numbering - but works for what I needed.

EN_1
FR_2
PT_3
DE_4
Etc...

This script from @Valeriy is INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much for sharing!

Is there a way that it can be modified to export PNG files of each page instead of PDF's?

This could be a massive time saver! Especially if the output resolution could be specified! Thanks!

Agreed! Does anyone know if you can do it when exporting as a pdf by setting the suffix to the page size custom name in the create as seperate pdf files? I have tried by it only exports the page size, not the name I have named it.

This would be an amazingly useful feature. Especially if the page's name could become the file name when exporting to JPG or PNGs.

Also experiencing the same issue - this change would save literally hours of looking up what page is what when working with longer documents. I'm creating a catalogue, where the pages look very similar. Very frustrating to not be able to label each page in the "pages panel" thumbnail view.

I made a workaround for it using script and script label.
Select a page using page tool, assign a script label to page using script label panel, then execute this extendscript:

for (var q=0; q<app.activeDocument.pages.length;q++){
if (app.activeDocument.pages[q].label){
exportRange = String(Number(q+1));
app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = exportRange;
exportPath = "your path separated by / is here";
fullName = exportPath+"/"+app.activeDocument.pages[q].label+".pdf";
myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("[High Quality Print]");
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, new File (fullName), false, myPDFExportPreset);
}
}

I cannot express how important this is. I'm creating 270 Data sheets and will need to export them as individual PNG pictures, Im then going to need to rename all those pictures, with named pages this would've saved me a WHOLE LOT of time.

Yes in addition to the helpfulness of just visually seeing the page names, it could also lead to some very helpful features with exporting page names to filenames.

It would save me SOOOOO mucn time if i could do that!!!

It would be great if I can edit page numbers to names by double clicking on the numbers

Dangit. I came to this page because Google told me it was going to tell me how to name pages in Indesign...but now I see that it's a page where people are saying that Adobe needs to offer that option. PLEASE do. I've been actually having some accuracy troubles because Indesign doesn't offer this option. For the sake of my job and my sanity, please make naming pages an option.

Hi, I think it would be really handy if the pages would have a rename feature. Rather than them being labelled page 1, 2 etc in the Pages tab, the User could label them as needed.
