How do you save each file created by Indesign Data Merge

Question

I have used data merge to create 100 PDFs, how do I save each one individually with its own name?

You say to create 100 PDFs but are asking how to save them individually. So you mean you have 100 pages in a single PDF and now need to separate them? — Ryan, Jul 29, 2016 at 12:45
The latter. I have a document with 100 combined PDFs, how do I create 100 single PDFs and save them. — Brian, Jul 29, 2016 at 19:53

There's scripts and plugins you can get to do this within InDesign but it doesn't do it (to my knowledge) natively.

I don't bother with scripts or plugins and instead will just open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat after and then its hard to find but go to:

Organize Pages → Split

That will let you separate the document into individual PDFs. You can also Extract and Combine PDF's using Acrobat.
